Benfica coach Jorge Jesus anticipates a Marítimo team with marked defensive concerns at Estádio da Luz, next Monday (7:00 pm), to play the match of the 25th round of the League.
«The interregnum of the teams was the same for everyone. I said after the game with SC Braga that it would be good if the championship did not stop, because the team had been playing good games. We lost six players to the national teams, but we had two weeks to work harder. We improved on some ideas that we thought were important. It was a very full week, we enjoyed our quality training sessions and now we will see in the match with Marítimo what we try to convey to the players, with a good performance ”, he said at a press conference.
«El Marítimo is a historic club in our league, the classification (16th place) does not have much to do with the value of the Marítimo team, which eliminated Sporting [Taça de Portugal] and won in Dragão ”, stressed the Reds coach, convinced that the island team will act in Luz“ in a 5x4x1 when there is no ball, with almost all the players behind the ball line ”, and trying to create danger in Set piece movements and counterattacks.
Benfica, on the other hand, overcame the irregularity that became evident in the past, showing that they are now a “happier” team on the pitch.
“The results justify this happiness, but we are still very far from what we wanted,” said Jesús.
