Benfica face Farense in the Algarve on Sunday as they are caught between the two knockout games with Arsenal for the Europa League. How to manage?
“It is a part, I hope that in 15 days, when we return to play the League, we will ask that question again, it is a sign that we eliminated Arsenal, that is what matters. The rivals who play at home are stronger, they complicate the victory of the greats to the maximum. Farense has had positive results, but Benfica has been improving the intensity of the game this month. It has not been factual in the results, we have not lost, but we have not won the last 4 games, “he wished.
With Sporting 13 points, is the priority now second?
“We have the same goal, but we have to share it. We have a barrier, which is the third classified, then the second. And it is in this thought that we believe, there are still 45 points left, a lot of championship, but for that we have to win. We believe that there is still much to decide, I have no doubts. There are things that you are not prepared for, I was not there these two months, but it can happen to others. First, we look at who is ahead and so on. When you are in second place, wait for the first ».
Are the players focused on Farense despite Arsenal following him?
«The players are concentrated. Of course, going from Arsenal to Farense is not the same, the Arsenal players are known worldwide, it was a team built for the top 5 of the Premier League and it is not there either … but our focus, the most important competition is the national championship, that’s where you go to the championship, where you have economic possibilities ”.
