The team arrives in this round as lantern of the competition. Something that surprises everyone, after the beautiful previous season. Their fans are concerned about the future of the team, because, on the pitch, the results and performances are not at all convincing. The offensive system needs to react and be more remarkable in games, being the least productive so far. Only this way to escape the indigestible last place of the championship.
