[O Garitinho CF] Line Tree "full spanish team who are hated"

Juventus Gent is a well known team in FID and the international events. O Garitinho C.F. will play against them this Saturday for the 1st match of the group stage on uFCL at 20h gmt.

Juventus Gent is currently at 1st place in the Belgian league with 6 wins out of 7 and they are season 11 uFCL champions.
we talked with the assistant manager of the team, Line Tree about the upcoming bout.

Juventus Gent is a well known team around FID, what can you highlight about your team?
We are a team that stick together for a really long time now, and are still as ambitious as when I first came here. Our strength is that we have no weak points in any line of our team. Last seasons though some players retired, but we were always able to replace them the best we could and I'm very happy with the squad we have at the moment. The team is very critical about new signings, as they have to hold loyalty and ability high. It's more than 7 months ago a first team player left now, funnily enough David Gonçalves. After last season, we lost our manager though, but a former player of the team filled in that gap which I'm happy for.

- Also on uFCL you are one of the most feared team, what are your objectives in this event?
Well, last season when we had to buy 2 new players at the start, Nikita Matveyev and Wayne Reynah, I was quite sceptical about our chances to win the Champions League as a CF and a SM are quite vital to make breakthroughs. But we were able to dominate every game , and scored more easily then I had thought. This season, as not one player has chemistry issues anymore, we won't be happy with anything less than win the CL. On condition that we can keep our activity on Saturday high enough to do so. That implies our Americano, Ryan Fojtik, has to get up at 4am sometimes. ^^

- You face O Garitinho on 1st group match, what do you know about this Portuguese league team?
Not so much to be fair, I know it's a full spanish team who are hated among a lot of players who play in Portugal. I think 2 seasons ago we were also in the same group in CL, and as far as I can remember, we beat them quite easily. I remember it as a hoofgame where we scored early on and kept the lead fairly easy. Having a quick look at their team, they seem fairly young compared to the core of Juventus, but skillwise they can certainly keep us on a draw. The worst thing for us is that the time is fairly late, so we will have to see if we can work out something to get 11 active players on the pitch. If not, we will take the draw.

- You are on Group B, who are favorites to win this group, and why?
I think Juventus Gent and Garitinho are favorites to go through, and that's what matters most at this stage of the competition. After having a quick look at the play times of Elite FC, I don't think the Indonesians will be very active at the late Saturday evening. But let them surprise me. Svarta I expect halfbot, and play no big part in the run for a playoff ticket. Skill Wise this is probably the group of death, but I expect a 7 7 3 0 scenario.
