José João fired up for Benfica youth visit: "It'll be a passionate match" | OneFootball

In the preview of the match against Benfica, relating to the 6th round of the championship qualification, José João, the coach of FC Porto's youth team, assured that the team will enter with ambition and determination to secure the three points. “The team is motivated and, above all, focused on what it has to do. We face the opponent with respect and are eager to play this match. These are the games that make us grow and make us want to be part of this sport. It will be a very interesting, passionate game, and we want to play it in the best way possible,” emphasized the coach.

He leads the final phase of the youth championship and aims to extend the lead, prolonging the sequence of positive results. The leader of the dragons also highlighted the importance of promoting “the culture of the Porto family”: “We haven't lost a game in a long time, but the most important thing is that we are increasingly identified with what our idea and our process are. We increasingly feel that we are a team, we look at our group as a whole, and everyone wants to be part of the same goal. Everyone wants to be part of the success, those who play and those who don't. For me, that has been the most important thing, fostering the culture of the Porto family within the group. That's why we've been playing good games and achieving good results. We come from a very difficult game in Alverca, a very important victory, and we believe we can get three more points and remain unbeaten.”

Tcherno Jamanca, FC Porto's forward, praised the opponent and shared the confidence shown by the coach. “We are very hungry, of course. Benfica is a very strong team, but at home, we feel even more eager to win. We work every week and feel very confident,” he assured.
