Alan Varela on Benfica derby: “We felt we dropped 2 points” | OneFootball

Alan Varela gave an interview to the newspaper A Bola. The Argentine midfielder, a key player for the Dragons this season, recalled the Clássico against Benfica, which ended 0-0.

«Clássicos are special matches, where the current form of each team doesn’t matter. But I think we showed that we wanted to win, from the first minute to the last. We were not satisfied with the result, not at all. We will keep working to improve with every game. The truth is we feel like we lost two points. We always want to win, every match. That’s the reality. We approach every game to win, we don’t want to lose or draw. But it’s also obvious that the opponent did their job. The result was what it was», emphasized Alan Varela, who was asked to comment on the opponent.

«I’m not going to comment on the opponent. I believe they have their reasons for approaching each game in a certain way, but I don’t think about that. I only think about what we do and I believe we did things well. We wanted to beat Benfica from the first minute», highlighted the Argentine.
