João Nuno: “No one’s beaten FC Porto yet, we could be the first” | OneFootball

João Nuno, coach of Estrela da Amadora, in the preview of the visit to Estádio do Dragão to face, on Monday (8:45 pm), FC Porto, in the match that closes the 14th round of the League:

Objective of the match

“We want to try to do what no one has done yet, which is to beat FC Porto. It’s a tremendous challenge, but these are the kinds of games that I think everyone enjoys. It will make us grow and create problems that we’ll have to solve during the match. That’s how we presented the challenge to the players and we are very motivated to put on a good performance at the Dragão.”

Assessment of FC Porto

“FC Porto allows fewer opportunities to their opponents, they are the club with the fewest goals conceded. That really shows what FC Porto has managed to achieve. We have to be consistent on the ball and be able to get it quickly out of the pressure zone.”

“Against Sporting, with two set pieces conceded in the first 15 minutes, we didn’t even get to see if our strategy made sense or not. We have to be fully focused at the Dragão at every moment of the game, to see if what we planned will work out. I truly believe we will give a different response.”

No anxiety in a match with little pressure

“We can’t approach this game with nerves. We have little to lose and a lot to gain. All the pressure is on FC Porto’s side. We’re going to compete and the players are very motivated, for everything. No one has beaten FC Porto yet, we could be the first and we have to go to the Dragão with the desire to do what no one else has managed to do. We believe and we go with that hope.”
