João de Deus' pre-match press conference ahead of II Liga matchday 20

João de Deus saw down with the press this Tuesday to share his thoughts on the midweek hosting of Desportivo das Aves, in what he sees as the perfect chance for his side to show what they can do against quality opposition.

“What I hope to do and what the players hope to do is to play as well as we have in our last four matches. Wins help the team grow and only consecutive wins can help the lads develop a winning mentality", explained the Alvalade coach, adding: “They (Desportivo das Aves (have some quality players and some are really gifted individually. It will be a hard game and I think it will be decided in the details, particularly the physical side of things with us having games in midweek."
