Pinto da Costa spoke to Porto Canal about Wednesday’s game in England against Manchester City. The president of the dragons recognizes that the task of the men of Sérgio Conceição will not be easy, but guarantees the maximum determination to achieve a positive result.
«FC Porto in the Champions League has a fantastic history in the Champions League. We are in the four clubs that have the most participation in the competition. Barcelona and Real Madrid are 25, FC Porto and Bayern are 24. It is a pleasure to meet these clubs, but the past is part of history. We are here in the present to build the future and the team that will enter the stadium with the utmost determination. It is not easy, but we will try to achieve a positive result, if possible, victory, ”he said.
Lamenting the lack of fans, Pinto da Costa spoke about the state of the group: «I feel them with confidence and with a lot of desire. It is also a difficult time for the coach, the result of the stage we are going through around the world. It is difficult to involve the team when there is no time to train. With the championships and the Champions running late, we play on Wednesday and Saturday or Sunday. There is no time to train. It is a difficult moment, especially with new players, for teams that have had many entries, but I am absolutely confident that we will be at the level that FC Porto is used to »
