We want a wonderful efficiency tomorrow. We have been upset. with the final. outcome as a result of we did not play as we wished. If we all the time play at this degree we may have difficulties with all of the groups within the League. We must play tactical soccer as a result of in any other case the person efficiency of the gamers will get worse. We have skilled very effectively and we’ve got actually wanting ahead to taking part in at house once more, in entrance of our followers, to indicate our supporters a great recreation and battle for the three factors”.

Will Enzo play or is he suspended?
“It has been a a lot talked about matter this week. Enzo is an effective man and a rare participant, we would like him to remain, the state of affairs is just not straightforward, he performed the World Cup, he gained the World Cup, he had proposals, there’s a lot of cash in recreation. He is a younger participant, that is complicated, all of us perceive that. But he is a superb individual. He was not licensed to go to Argentina, it’s not accepted that he went there, there might be penalties, I cannot say what .We do not need to promote him, neither me nor the president. Everyone is aware of there’s a launch clause, if he needs to go away and somebody breaks the clause, we would lose the participant. There is a membership that wishes him, they’ve tried to lure him , however they know they’ll solely have him in the event that they pay the clause It’s disrespectful to all of us at Benfica they are driving the participant loopy Pretend they need to pay the clause after which need to negotiate About Enzo that is all I’ll say and I’ll reply no extra questions on it.”

What went incorrect with Benfica in the previous few video games?
“We missed so much, sadly. We spent so much of time at a excessive degree, the gamers had been very centered, with clear concepts about what to do when we’ve got the ball or not. It’s crucial that every one the gamers have that concept internalized If there are gamers who do not stay centered within the recreation, we play much less tactical soccer, we arrive late, we now not have management of the sport You cannot evaluate the League Cup match with Sp. Braga, with the Moreirense. we created probabilities however we drew. Against Sp. Braga acquired the gamers again and the eleven we placed on the sphere was the identical one we performed towards Juventus. It was all to do with the tactical conduct . We had a great dynamic, however this isn’t one thing that may be turned on and off, we’ve got to work to get it once more. My process and that of the crew is to recollect what we’ve got already executed, to return to succeed in a better degree. Tomorrow we are going to absolutely do higher than final week and we may have l ‘alternative to win’.
Talked to Enzo, does he need to exit?
“I mentioned I did not need to reply any extra questions on this matter. He is our participant, we like him and we hope he stays.”

How is David Neres?
“David is heading in the right direction, he has advanced so much this week, however he has been coaching with the crew for some time. Tomorrow we are going to resolve if he enters the beginning eleven.”

Is Benfica a crew that depends upon some gamers?
“Every crew on the planet depends upon some gamers. The high quality of the gamers is decisive. But to carry out at their greatest the gamers who performed most of the time within the first half of the season did so as a result of they are superb. My alternative depends upon what’s greatest for Benfica and one of the best method to win every recreation. The gamers on the bench even have the chance to say ‘present’. Tomorrow Rafa comes out and we’ve got to discover a resolution. He is a vital participant however through the season we performed with out necessary gamers and nonetheless gained.”
