Victor Froholdt has established himself as one of the revelations of this season. The FC Porto reinforcement, in statements to Betano Mag, commented on the upcoming Classic against Benfica.

«It's a big game. I know it's a game with great pressure, with a great rivalry, and I know what it means to the fans. We also know it's a big game and that Benfica is a good team with good qualities. However, I think we've shown that if we play at our best level, we can beat them. We are looking forward to the game and will give 100% to beat Benfica and offer that to the club and the fans», began Victor Froholdt, who also confessed he hasn't seen any past Classics and compared the game to Copenhagen x Brondby.

«I haven't seen many games yet, but I know they were great classics and I hope the challenge we are going to play will be one to remember. In Denmark, we also have some great rivalries and we also have great fans, and I enjoyed that, but here there are many more people who go to football, the country is bigger. The atmosphere is more or less the same, but here we have a lot more people who love football. And we have great fans here at FC Porto. Copenhagen x Brondby? I think it's more or less the same, there's also a great rivalry in Denmark, but this rivalry we have at FC Porto is very big. I know what it means to the fans, and if we win, the whole city will celebrate. If we lose, the city will go to work the next day a little sad. We have to do our job», emphasized the midfielder.

The midfielder also explained aspects of the preparation and highlighted that the priority is always the team itself.

«The team has to face every game as if it were the last and most important because we have to win every match if we want to have the trophy at the end. Therefore, I don't think we have to do anything special. We also know that Benfica is a very good team and we will have to be prepared for that. During the game, we will have to do some things differently, however, the mentality is the same for all matches», highlighted Victor Froholdt.

Froholdt has recorded one goal and three assists in nine matches for FC Porto. Read more statements from the Danish midfielder.
