Carlo Di Benedetto: “Teamwork is the best way to secure the three points” | OneFootball

After the decisive victory over Juventude Pacense (6-1), FC Porto enters another round of the championship by heading to SC Tomar's venue in the 19th round, on Wednesday at 9:00 PM, with broadcast by Porto Canal.

In anticipation of a “very difficult and very important” match, Carlo Di Benedetto acknowledged that the national champions must present themselves on the field with “total focus” and be “very attentive” to the opponent's qualities. “We know that now we are closer to second place, so we have to focus on victories and getting as many points as possible,” added the French international. FC Porto is in fourth place, with 39 points, 11 behind the leader Benfica, while SC Tomar occupies the eighth position, with 21 points.

The rout in the previous round“The last game was good. It's always good to return to victories at Dragão Arena and the team needs this, needs victories in the championship. We know that now we are closer to second place, so we have to focus on victories and getting as many points as possible. The game with SC Tomar will be difficult, but we need to win.”

SC Tomar“We know that SC Tomar is a team that works very well, both defensively and offensively. They have their ideas very well developed and a way of playing that is almost always the same, regardless of the opponent. They have their identity, defend very high, and offensively have their movements. They will be a team playing against us with their identity, their way of being, and on a rink that is a bit larger than ours. It will be a very difficult game, as they have played very well against the teams that are in the top four places. It's another game where we will have to be very focused, very attentive, and above all, work as a team. It's the best way to get the three points.”

Classic with Sporting at Dragão Arena on Saturday“We don't want to focus too much on Saturday's game, as Wednesday's game is very difficult and very important. We need our total focus for this game, but we know that with the recent results in the championship, Saturday's game is very important for us and we will need Dragão Arena full and the fans supporting us. It's a crucial game for us to finish in the best possible position.”
