Vítor Pereira analysed FC Porto vs Nottingham Forest, the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The tricky trees manager was asked about Portuguese teams and the Primeira Liga.
“That’s a different league now. It’s no longer my battle. My battle is a different one: getting to my room now and already starting to look at Aston Villa, to understand how they played against Bologna. The Portuguese league is still competitive, also with a lot of off-the-pitch issues to discuss. It’s funny, that’s how we live football. We spend the week discussing other things. Sporting are also in a good moment, but I’m not going to sit here giving my opinion on Portuguese teams,” the coach explained.
