Statements by Sérgio Conceição to the RTP with the Super Cup with Benfica on the horizon.

Availability of Pepe, Corona and Otávio: “We will see. I don’t know if we will have them or not, because the game was yesterday (Sunday), there is not much time for recovery. We will see if they are one hundred percent in physical terms. If they are, obviously a coach always likes it. have everyone and have everyone available for these matches, where everything is decided in that same match. That is, it is important that the squad is all available. “

Pepe grows in the final: “We are a very competitive team. We have shown, not only in internal competitions, but in Europe, that we have this competitiveness and that is part of our DNA. Pepe represents this state of mind to the fullest, this way of being at the club on a daily basis , the rigorous, ambitious and determined way in which he works and, obviously, it is always important to have our captain on the field ”.

Line of five defenders with Benfica? “They are strategic situations that we have defined. Even with a line of four, sometimes other sectors are more important, namely the intermediate, where often, even in internal testing, we come up with different variants, based on team principles. We mainly look at ourselves, but we are attentive to the opponent and his strength. There is little time to work on this game, but the teams know each other well. Even if we don’t have that much time on the field, we always do that observation and analysis and then define the best strategy and the players to interpret that strategy in the best way. “

Is Benfica stronger with Jorge Jesús? “It’s different. Benfica won titles before Jorge Jesús, they won with Jorge Jesús … It has its impact at the national level, at the international level it has also achieved interesting and important things. It is a different Benfica, like all games. Last year we did very well, especially against this rival, I hope it will also be this year, especially in this game, because it will decide a title. “

Benfica’s defensive weaknesses: “All teams have weaknesses and strengths. Great teams have less than others, but they also have them. We prepare the game within some weaknesses that the opponent normally presents and also looking at their strengths. Now, each game has your life and your history. Sometimes we prepare the game in a certain way and the opponent appears in another way, or makes fewer mistakes at a certain time and makes others that we were not expecting. The inspiration and competitive concentration of the players, than in these games that are worth titles is essential ”.

Low quality due to game overload: “I think quality will be. It depends on how we look at quality. If I look at their program, I see some commentators who consider that quality has a large percentage of possession. I look at other programs or other players in their program, which they already think is a little different, that is, ball possession has to do something, that is, score goals more objectively or not depending on the dynamics you want to instill in the team. that a game that is tactically rich is a game that is rich in quality. Sometimes it may seem boring to people, but for us coaches, there is a lot of content in these types of games. It depends on how we view football. “
