| Just over one week from now, Marítimo will be playing in their biggest game of the season at home to Glasgow Rangers in the UEFA Cup first round, but first the verde-rubros must face Superliga new boys Penafiel this Saturday. However with such a big game just around the corner, the players may not be 100% focused on the league game. Apparently not says Marítimo new boy Manduca, claiming that a win against Penafiel is priority. The Brazilian striker, a summer signing from Paços de Ferreira, clearly stated that the immediate priority of the team is a win against Penafiel. After the poor 3-0 loss away to Belenenses last week, the players will be looking to set the record straight in the verde-rubros first home game of the season, before dealing with the huge task of shocking Glasgow |

| Rangers. Personally, I am only thinking about Penafiel said Manduca. We have to take each step in time, and to win is our priority, after losing in Belém. If we want to go far, we have to think about winning the biggest number of games possible, he pointed out. We want to erase the bad image (of our performance) after the first twenty minutes against Belenenses. It is necessary to enter the pitch with confidence. Manduca had an impressive debut for Marítimo in the 3-0 loss against Belenenses, playing on the left wing. He was one of the most highly rated players of the game, despite being on the losing side.
