Farioli: Benfica are rivals, but Porto always play to win | OneFootball

In the preview of the match between Benfica and FC Porto, scheduled for this Sunday at Estádio da Luz, the Dragons’ coach addressed the rivalry between the clubs and confirmed he has already visited Luz. The game is set for 6 p.m. and will be covered LIVE on Maisfutebol.

“I was there a few years ago to watch a game, I know the atmosphere. We know what it’s like there. But we are FC Porto, we go everywhere with the same courage. The rivalry is clear. They are our biggest rival, but that won’t change anything. We know what we want tomorrow.”

Benfica’s Threats

“The further away they are from our goal, the better. The more possession we have, the better. And press very hard. There will be moments when we’ll need to defend deeper. Schjelderup is good one-on-one, Pavlidis is a player who has a big impact, he already has 27 goals. Rafa Silva is a reinforcement and then there’s whoever plays on the right side, who will certainly be capable. It’s a game where it’s important to run more and win more duels.”

“We’re going to need all the characteristics. Some players are better one-on-one, others attack space better. The front four work very hard. The way we want to play, the contribution of the forwards is key.”
