Estrela da Amadora star on Benfica clash: It’ll be a tough match | OneFootball

The coach of Estrela da Amadora, João Nuno - who is facing issues before the match at Luz -, present at the recent Tricolor Gala, highlighted the capability of the opponent they will face, dismissing the possibility of encountering a Benfica affected by the recent European defeat against Juventus, noting that they are still unbeaten in the league this season, predicting a highly demanding match at Luz.

"Benfica is coming off a defeat, but we analyzed and I think they even played a good game, but there was a part of the game where Juventus scored. We expect a Benfica as they have been in the championship, still unbeaten, in domestic competitions only in the Portuguese Cup and the League Cup, and in the League, they have no defeats, so it will be an extremely difficult game, but we will try to compete and play to win", he anticipated.

Jovane Cabral, who was recognized as Footballer of the Year during the Gala, noted the "attitude and mindset" that the tricolors have shown, ensuring that this will not be different against the reds.

"Benfica is always an opponent to consider. It is one of the strongest in Portugal, but we will do everything to secure the three points, this year we have a different attitude and mindset, and I think the club is eager to grow even more. We will give everything to achieve those three points, even away from home, we always play to win, and I believe Estrela will get a good result", stated the Cape Verdean forward.

It should be noted that the reds will return to the field next Sunday, January 25th, at 18:00, at Estádio da Luz, where they will face Estrela da Amadora. The match will count for the 19th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, and the referee is already known.
