Aursnes previews Benfica v Sporting, vows: “I’ll do everything to…” | OneFootball

Fredrik Aursnes reveals he will be ready to score in the Benfica – Sporting match. In statements to Betano Mag, the Benfica midfielder dismisses the idea that the derby is decisive for the title race and assured that José Mourinho's team will be prepared.

“I am looking forward to the game and I know the fans will support us, as always. On our part, we will do everything to be prepared for the game and we will do everything we can to win it. I will be ready, if I score. Scoring goals is not very common for me, but of course, I will do everything I can to score,” Fredrik Aursnes began by saying.

Regarding the importance of the derby for the title race, Fredrik Aursnes is very clear: “Maybe not, but of course here in Portugal, head-to-head games are an extra because they come before goal difference. But that doesn't change much how we prepare, we will always try to win the game.”

“It's hard to say, in these games, history and previous matches [Super Cup] don't count for much. I think it will be a tough game. I have played against Sporting many times and it will certainly be a very balanced game, they are two good teams, it will certainly be a good game. But of course, there is a good feeling from the last time we met them,” added Fredrik Aursnes.
