"I believe that one less day of rest will not 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.

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

Despite the praise for the Alvalade Club, the Napoli central defender showed he is prepared for the challenge and to face the lions' mobile attack: "I have been in Italy for 15 years, we are used to this way of playing. We must be attentive to these player exchanges, as it can cause marking problems, but here we learn to defend in zone and we know how to cover these exchanges."

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Wednesday, October 1, 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.
