Ex-Portugal star on Porto v Benfica: These games are decided by... | OneFootball

Quim issued a warning that it's necessary to keep a cool head in these types of games. In a conversation with the national press, the former Portuguese international, who made his mark playing for Benfica, previewed the Classic against Porto and warned that it is a game different from the usual.

“These are different games, but they are worth advancing to the next stage,” began Quim, in statements to Agência Lusa, speaking about the importance these matches have for each of the clubs, which are looking to reach the semi-finals of the competition.

“There are moments when you need to keep a cool head, because these games are decided by details and concentration is crucial,” warned the former Benfica goalkeeper. It's worth remembering that the Eagles continue to prepare for the Classic, with some doubts in defense.

In these types of games, Quim explained that individual players can make the difference, both for the good and the bad of the clubs on the field: “We know that, individually, a player can decide one of these games. That's what makes the difference when the balance is tight.”

“The mindset starts right at the beginning of the week. The press, people on the street, everything makes you feel that it is a different game. The desire to win the Classic was very strong from the members,” concluded the former Portuguese international, in statements to Agência Lusa.
