“We'll fight until the end” | OneFootball

The roller hockey team hosts Sporting in the third game of the championship play-off semi-finals, and Xavi Malián guarantees that the European Champions will “do everything to win and earn an extra life in the tie” (Wednesday, 9pm, Porto Canal).

Trailing in the series (2-0), Porto acknowledge that “an extremely difficult game is coming, one that will be decided by the details”, but the goalkeeper has a message for the fans so that, in tune with the players, they can all “pull together in the same direction”: “We are much stronger when we are all together, we’ve shown that many times before”.

The tickets put on sale by FC Porto have sold out, so another full house is expected at Dragão Arena.

All or nothing“We know that if we lose, we’re out. It’s a final, but we’re going to approach it the same way we approached the last two. We know that here at FC Porto only victory matters in every game, we always play to win. We didn’t manage it in the previous two games, but tomorrow we’re going to do everything to win and to earn an extra life in the tie.”

Total focus“The first game was strange. We gave away three goals while shorthanded; this year we had been doing very well in that phase of the game, but these things happen. We felt very sorry for the fans who came to watch us, but that’s behind us now. We’re only looking at tomorrow’s game, which will be extremely difficult and decided by the details, but all together we’re going to fight to get the win.”

Together for the same goal“We’re very confident and we want to win tomorrow’s game. We know that if we don’t win tomorrow, there won’t be another one, but we have a lot of confidence because we’re working well, even if sometimes things don’t come off. We’ll fight until the end and tomorrow we want everyone together – players, coaching staff and fans – pulling in the same direction.”

The Porto family“I hadn’t seen the arena this full in a long time, it was very good. I want to thank them for their confidence and tell them that tomorrow we will leave everything on the court to give them the victory. We are much stronger when we are all together, we’ve shown that many times before, and that will be the case again.”
