Optimism Despite Defeat for National Achinas' New Coach

Rui Ferreira, the new coach of National Achinas, did not start with a win as his team suffered a defeat. Despite the loss, Ferreira remains optimistic about the team's progress and believes he can change the negative standings. His main complaint was the team's inability to score, despite Brenno's efforts, which were thwarted by a disallowed goal and the opposing goalkeeper, Ochoa. A key issue is the management of Andergren, who did not start due to illness, impacting the team's attacking performance. Furthermore, there's a recurring problem with Richard Ofori's frequent red cards, which have negatively affected the team. Preparations for the Cup match against Enosis at Dasaki are underway, with Ferreira planning some changes to the lineup, excluding the injured Toumpas and Rodriginho.
