Petit: "This team has a lot of hunger and thirst"

Maisfutebol12 September 2026 at 12:07

Petit, Santa Clara's coach, expressed confidence in his team, stating that it has "a lot of hunger and thirst," suggesting strong motivation and desire to achieve goals. The coach intends to continue the good momentum the team is experiencing.

However, Petit warned about Arouca's quality, Santa Clara's next opponent. The coach acknowledged that the match will not be easy and that the opponent deserves respect due to their qualities.

The encounter comes at a positive moment for Santa Clara, which is seeking to maintain the momentum of favorable results. Petit appears to want to balance internal optimism with the necessary caution against a rival he considers competent.

Why this matters

Santa Clara and Arouca fans in the Azores region and the mainland get to know the coach's perspective before the clash between the two teams, which allows anticipating the tactical approach and the state of mind of the Azorean squad. The reference to Arouca's quality indicates that Petit expects a demanding challenge, relevant for those who follow the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
