Casa Pia and Torreense face off on Thursday in Rio Maior, in a match that will decide the future of the two teams. Emotion and physicality will weigh in the decision. The Taça de Portugal was an obstacle for Torreense, who had to play five more games than necessary. The last of those games was a 120-minute final against Sporting, which left Torreense players exhausted. Physical trainer Carlos Bruno says that great fatigue makes muscle fibers break and need between three and five days to recover completely. In addition, muscle glycogen depletion can take between six and seven days to recharge. However, the motivation with which Torreense players arrive at this game may be an important factor in the decision. They are motivated to return to the elite of football, where they have not been for more than three decades. The game will be a great opportunity for Torreense to show its value and fight for a place in the Primeira Liga. Casa Pia is also motivated to win and maintain its position in the Primeira Liga. Emotion and physicality will weigh in the decision, and it will be an exciting game to watch.
