This afternoon Jorge Jesús brought forward the game against Rangers in Glasgow, saying that he knows that the rival is a very aggressive team.

What strategy for Glasgow:

“Rangers is a team known not only for Benfica but for Portuguese football, last year they played against SC Braga and FC Porto, they have already shown their value, the coach is the same, the players are practically the same, They have the idea of ​​I’ve been playing for three years, aggressive, which is not easy to stop. At home he has scored more than 30 goals. Now, given our organization and what we know, we are prepared defensively, but also prepared to be a strong team offensively. When we have the ball, we are sure that we will have a balanced game, we will be tight, because they put many players in the last line of the defender.

Pressed team with more results and poor performance in Cup:

“We have won 7 consecutive games before, we simply have not won the last two and there was the Cup. It was a game in which it was played when enough, against an organized team. Not playing with a lot of quality, it wasn’t so bad either.

Libertadores won a year ago, did you think you were in Lisbon ?: «Benfica is the favorite in all competitions, they may not have the competition to get there, being a favorite is one thing, having the power to get there is one thing. But now I am interested in this project. We are working to get there, for titles like the one I won in Brazil. Winning internal competitions is one thing, reaching the end of the Championship and another. It takes more. Coaches change clubs easily, when they are wanted like me all over the world even easier.

An analysis of Gabriel: «He has the characteristics of being a high quality defensive midfielder, he is fast, when the team needs speed in defense he does it very well, he is aggressive with the ball carrier, he can be a midfielder more than a second . In the first few games he was really good, then when we switched with the rotation, I started switching between him and Weigl. In one or the other he was not up to par, but it always satisfied his behavior. That position is one of the most tactically demanding and he may be in that profile.
