Varzim hosts Vianense this Saturday, at 3pm, at the Varzim Stadium, in a match that marks the necessary reaction after the first defeat of the season, against Paredes. Coach Carlos Fernandes described that loss as "difficult to swallow", but highlighted that the team "remained competitive", something he considers essential for the demands of Liga 3.
Fernandes revealed that no special intervention was needed to lift the squad's spirits, describing them as "intelligent" and aware that defeats are part of the journey. The focus is on correcting what went wrong against Paredes, mainly in possession moments, intending to see a team capable of maintaining quality possession and exploiting what the black-and-whites do best.
The analysis of Vianense was straightforward: a competitive team, with positive dynamics and capable of competing in every match. The coach warned that Varzim will have to be prepared for a very difficult match, typical of Liga 3, where every detail can decide the result.
In the standings, Varzim arrive at the matchday leading Serie A, level on points with Paredes, both with 9 points, while Vianense occupy 6th place with 5 points. Fernandes hopes for a strong presence of Varzim fans in the stands and believes the support will be constant as long as the team shows willingness and commitment. The match will be broadcast live on Canal 11.
