It's good to be at the front, says SC Braga goalkeeper Quim – Liga Sagres News
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Braga-c40460 goalkeeper, Quim, is relishing his side’s position on top of the Primeira Liga standings and says that the club are doing well to challenge for the title this year with their recent form.
The Archbishops were able to overcome their weekend opponents, Nacional, 2-0 and the result took them to the top of the table, where they are now level on points with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 and Benfica.
Leonardo Jardim’s men’s did not get off to a perfect start this campaign. Pressure was on them earlier in the season as they failed to score in their opening two games.
However, the club persevered on and can now boast of having won five games in the fledgling season already.
While not being the strongest of sides in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, SC Braga are thought to be punching above their weight when it comes to winning the title, but reports emerging from Estadio AXA claim otherwise.
The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuno-Gomes-c28237 have reiterated that the side are going to be genuine contenders this term and despite not being favourites could be the winners in the end.
With the tension of a torrid start coming to an end, Braga can enjoy the benefits of being tied on points with FC Porto and Benfica and look forward to building on their performances.
Someone who is truly relishing the club’s current position is goalkeeper Quim, who claims that with the results they are having, the side can challenge for honours this year.
Speaking to reporters, the Portuguese International revealed that the team has had a great start to the season and they will be able to challenge for silverware with similar displays.
"At this point we are not thinking about the title fight, but are concentrating on winning three points in each game. It’s Good to be in front, we are making excellent progress in the championship and we will try to do our best,” he said.
Quim also spoke about his excellent defence of the posts, saying that for him the team gaining a result was more important than his personal feats.
"It is less important for the goalkeeper to be beaten, I am happy for that, but it is not the first time you step through this experience," he said.
Lastly, the former Benfica man revealed that his aim was to be successful on the domestic front and any glory he gains with the national team would be an added bonus.
"I continue to work on my club performances, where I am totally with my thoughts. The selection was and will always be a goal, but the choices belong to the coach,” http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Quim-c30219 was quoted as saying.
