Could the track record in England have an influence? Did it somehow factor into the preparation? “It’s not about records or about breaking runs unless they’re negative ones; we came here to write an important page in FC Porto’s history. The affection and support we’re receiving from the fans is unusual — when we left the stadium for Estoril, there were two thousand people by the bus. If we can change the past a little against English teams, that will be a bonus, but the priority is to play a great match, deliver an excellent performance, enough to go through; that’s what matters most.”
