The team needs this momentum, the fans deserve it, and there is a shared belief that success will come if everyone commits fully. The scene shifts to Oliva Nova Golf, where the same venue once hosted a stage in England’s West Bromwich Albion program, echoing a moment that blends preparation with expectation.

The arrival of the new coach brings fresh ideas and concepts, and most importantly, a strong collective desire to apply them in practice and then replicate them when the moment arrives to claim the first win and climb out of the current predicament.
