“It could be a special day for the team and the Club” | OneFootball

The Champion Qualification Stage of the National Second Division Championship is back, and FC Porto only need a win to secure the national title and the corresponding promotion to the First Division. Aware that this “is a game that could be decisive for us,” Daniel Chaves anticipates a “difficult” match against CF Benfica at the CTFD Jorge Costa on Saturday at 3pm, live on Porto Canal. Even so, the coach believes that Olival will continue to be “our fortress.” Angeline da Costa, meanwhile, assures that the team are “confident and very focused for this game,” without looking at “what may happen next.” FC Porto remain alone at the top of the table with 29 points, seven more than Clube de Albergaria, while CF Benfica are in sixth place with 10.

A win would mean achieving two concrete objectives“We know it is a game that could be decisive for us, and we have prepared for it with the same importance as all the others. In any case, we know that a win would make the game and the day special, as it would mean achieving our main objective, which is promotion, and could also be combined with winning the national title.”

CF Benfica“We expect a difficult game. We know they are a stronger team when playing at home and on their own pitch, and that they have more difficulties in away matches. We will try to make the most of the home factor so that it can be our fortress, and our quality of play has been evident in recent games. That is what we have been working towards in order to secure the three points in the next match.”

The support of the Porto family“Up to today, the fans have been important and fundamental. It is a journey that began last year and of which they have always been a part. I would like to take this opportunity to invite all our supporters to be present on a day that could be special for the team and for the Club.”

The focus is on the game and the work to be done“We know it will be a different game because of its particularities. We are playing at home and we have a bigger pitch with natural grass, which suits our game. We know that with a win we will be champions, but we have to do our job and focus on the game.”

A confident and focused team“I feel the team are confident and very focused for this game. We are very focused on the match and we are not thinking about what may happen next.”
