Benfica beware: Porto star eyes Clássico, "We know that..." | OneFootball

With Benfica dealing with a virus, as reported by the press, some doubts arise from the Eagles' side. However, on Porto's side, Victor Froholdt is eagerly awaiting to face the Clube da Luz, offering some praise, as well as warnings, to the opponent of the Classic on Sunday, October 5th.

“It's a big game. I know it's a game with great pressure, with a great rivalry, and I know what it means to the fans. We also know that Benfica is a good team, with good qualities. However, I think we have shown that if we play at our best level, we can beat them. We are looking forward to the game and will give 100% to beat Benfica and offer that to the club and the fans,” he stated in an interview with Betano Mag.

The Danish international also highlighted the impact of the recent triumph against Sporting but emphasized that Porto must be consistent against all opponents: “We beat Sporting and we know that beating the top teams can be important to have an advantage at the end of the season. Therefore, we know what it means to win the game against Benfica. We have to win all the games, against Benfica and Sporting, but also against the smaller teams.”

In his first season with the Dragons, Froholdt set clear goals for the team: “I hope to be very good with the team and fight for the championship. It's early to say, but we have to keep going in the right direction and try to improve. If we continue like this, I think we have a good opportunity to fight for the championship in the end. Winning the League is, of course, the main goal and also to have a good Europa League.”

The Porto – Benfica match is scheduled for next Sunday, October 5th, at 21:15, as part of the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. José Mourinho's team visits the Estádio do Dragão four points behind Farioli's team and is obliged to triumph to stay in the title race.
