At the press conference prior to the match against Santa Clara, scheduled for Saturday, in the Azores, Sérgio Conceição spoke about the little time FC Porto has between matches, recalled the words of Jurgen Klopp and, in the end, concluded: “We play with less than 72 hours between games and, if we don’t win, Sérgio Conceição doesn’t notice any of this.”
Sérgio Conceição was questioned this Friday about the short rest time between matches and, in the previous duel with Santa Clara, on the eighth day of the I League, he spoke of the tight schedule, in a week in which FC Porto plays three matches. .
“Even if they were three games of internal competitions and not of the Champions League, each game has its history, its life and its strategy. Obviously already with a base based on the characteristics of the team, but all the games are different and require something different And this work is done with the little time we have. We must not forget that we arrived [anteontem] at 4:30 in the morning and we will be playing 72 hours apart from one game to another. It is important for people to think about this a bit, because it has nothing to do with our dedication, perhaps with this lack of time to prepare for the game that we have, it has to do with the risk of the players getting injured ”, affirmed the. The Porto manager, even talking about the Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp:
“A few days ago the [Jurgen] Klopp said that maybe at this rate we will finish the season with 11 or 12 players. It is good to be in Europe, of course, because it is the place that FC Porto is used to and in a competition like the Champions League. Now, we have to look at a more general context, look at what the national teams are, the friendly matches, all that. Some protection is important. This also has to do with the end of last season, with the rest period that the players did not have, and so on, we have already commented on all that. The truth is that we are facing a match less than 72 hours apart and in the end, if we don’t win, it’s Sérgio Conceição who doesn’t notice any of this. You don’t look at these things in the least. We have to think about it, look at everything, prepare everything in detail and, sometimes, it is not easy, because rivals do not play with the same weapons as us, “he added.
