A Brazilian touch has worked wonders for many UEFA Futsal Cup contenders in the past and is certainly do the trick for Sporting Fingal FC.
Neither side Irish had previously qualified for a later stage in a UEFA futsal Tournament but in Fingal Lithuanian hosts preliminary round defeated FK Gorica Kaunas and Armenia Kaghsi FC Yerevan to the beginning of your group. He continued an important year for the Club of Dublin – founded in 2008 – whose side football made his debut at the continental qualification having won the FAI Cup for the first time.
They came out quickly, but the futsal team is going strong and Tuesday face Azerbaijan Araz Naxçivan, hosts Romanian city'us Târgu Mures and FK Nikars Riga in a formidable main round group 3.
Araz finished third last season with a Brazilian programming-infused and cast of Fingal also shows this influence beside the goalkeeper Poish Marcin Fornal player Sergiu Musteata and Moldova, as well as domestic players like Mark Langtry, Captain of Ireland's national Futsal.
"Irish players really offer anything: they play with a lot of heart and fight to win every game but futsal is still new to Ireland so that they are still learning," Fingal player-coach Junior da Silva said uefa.com ".Our players do Brasil, Moldova and Poland has a different style and they were playing futsal for more so it's a good mix of have the cast, we have a very strong Panel and all they get about as well as a group.
Da Silva has been putting the finishing touches to his squad's plans for the main stage, but he's already made the decision to dismiss a player – himself."I'm player/coach and I like to play in our home games when I can, but for the UEFA needs to concentrate on my role as coach so don't put me on the team," he said.
It is without doubt that Araz represent the beginning hardest possible. "Its players are full-time, they are experienced and have been the third best team in Europe last year so it's a very difficult game for us, "Da Silva, said."The pressure is on them as favourites, maybe if we succeed a result against them to be taken to the second game, against the host team, city US Târgu Mures.
"Being realistic, it will be difficult for us to win the group as the team of Azerbaijan's Favorites, but if we can finish second and qualify for the elite round, that would be a great achievement for us. Futsal is a young sport in Ireland and people are still getting to know about it if we can do well in Romania and progress, it would be a great elevator."
