Juan Jesus highlights Sporting’s biggest threat: We know their quality | OneFootball

Juan Jesus expressed concern regarding Francisco Trincão. Sporting visits Napoli next Wednesday, October 1st, in a match of the second round of the regular phase of the Champions League, a game for which the Brazilian defender has already previewed, highlighting the lion's forward as one of the main threats to the Italian team.

“I believe that the one less day of rest will not have an influence, it's 11 against 11. Of course, rest is always good, but the team is ready, we know the quality of Sporting and we are ready to face them,” said the 34-year-old center-back to Sport TV.

Subsequently, Juan Jesus listed the various strengths of Sporting's football, citing Francisco Trincão as the main element to consider: “We know the quality of their counter-attack, Trincão is a great player... We must make as few mistakes as possible. If you make mistakes in the Champions League, there's always a greater risk of conceding a goal.”

Despite the compliments to the Alvalade Club, the Napoli central defender showed he is prepared for the challenge and to face the lions' mobile attack: “I've been in Italy for 15 years, we are used to this style of play. We have to be attentive to these player exchanges, as they can cause marking problems, but here you learn to defend in zones and we know how to cover these exchanges.”

The green and white emblem returns to the field next Wednesday, October 1st, against Napoli. The match, counting for the second round of the Champions League, against the team led by Antonio Conte, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, at 8:00 PM.
