Trincão aims to trouble Napoli defence in Sporting clash | OneFootball

Juan Jesus expressed concern about Francisco Trincão. Sporting will travel to Napoli's ground next Wednesday, October 1st, for a match in the second round of the regular phase of the Champions League - find out more about the game -, which the Brazilian defender has already had the opportunity to preview.

“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 their counter-attack, Trincão is a great player... We have to make as few mistakes as possible. If you make mistakes in the Champions League there is always a higher risk of conceding a goal”.

Despite the praise for the Alvalade Club, the Napoli center-back showed that he is prepared for the challenge and to face the mobile attack of the lions: “I have been in Italy for 15 years, we are used to this way of playing. We have to be aware of these player exchanges, as they can cause marking problems, but here we learn to defend in zones and we know how to cover these exchanges”.

The green and white emblem will return 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.
