The coach of Arouca, Daniel Ramos, emphasized the importance of winning against Moreirense in the 9th round of the Liga Primera Liga.

This season, the Arouca side have only won in the first round (4-3 against Estoril). After four defeats in the league, but with a League Cup win against ABC in the middle, a break in the league due to national team matches brought stability to the team's emotional state, reinforced by a 3-1 win over Felgeiras in the 3rd round of the Portuguese Cup. "The break allowed us to strengthen our actions, have more time to work and stabilize. After the break we had a Cup match in which we played well and won, which was the most important thing to improve our emotional state. Now, better than one win is only two wins. This growing uplift must be backed up by results. Only good performances are not enough," the coach emphasized at the press conference.

"Moreirense will stay true to its style of play. This is a team that defends and attacks the same way in every game.

Daniel Ramos also expressed his joy over Vitinho's return to the pitch after a long injury layoff since October 2022. "I was happy for Vitinho. I can tell you that after the match, he cried a little bit of tears of joy that he had reached that point. He's stable, he's doing a good job, I'm really counting on him. We realize that he is a very valuable player and will surely help the team. It's a matter of duration and capacity. If he works the way he is working now, he will deserve opportunities in the near future," the coach told

Aruca are in 16th place with six points and host Moreirense, who are in eighth place with 11 points, on Friday at 20:15. The match will be refereed by Bruno Costa and can be followed on Maisfutebol.
