This Tuesday Jorge Jesu brought forward the match against Vitória de Guimarães (Wednesday, 9:00 pm), in the quarterfinals of the League Cup. The Benfica coach assumed that he will have to carry out some management due to the overload of matches.
«This game fits in with the objectives and the responsibility of Benfica. We enter all competitions to win and, for that, we have to know how to manage athletes according to the best moment of each match. Vitória de Guimarães is a rival that aspires to reach the final, and the cups give everyone the opportunity to dream. They are completely different from a championship race with 34 rounds. But we will do what we have done. Trying to understand how the athletes are as a result of the match with Vilafranquense and to attend to those who show the most signs of danger of injury, ”he began by explaining on BTV.
Jorge Jesús also reserved some praise for Vitória de Guimarães.
«Comes from a defeat in the Portuguese Cup [0-1, com o Santa Clara], but it is a competition where there are always surprises and it touches everyone. It does not mean that they are having a bad time. In the championship the first five places are disputed and that is an obvious sign of the individual and collective quality of the team. It will be a difficult match, I have no doubt. Still, I think Benfica is getting stronger from week to week. The processes are more easily assimilated and things become easier. I think we will play a very strong game again in terms of positional attack, with several scoring opportunities and making Vitória de Guimarães defend more often. However, we must be prepared for the dangers that they can create us: they have a fabulous player on the dead ball, if he plays, which is Quaresma, and others with a lot of quality ”, he concluded.
