Rui Barros on Cup draw: We must stay serious and disciplined | OneFootball

This Thursday, Rui Barros represented FC Porto in the draw for the 3rd and 4th rounds of the Portuguese Cup. Although the Dragons were paired with a team from the Campeonato de Portugal, the former Porto player approaches Celoricense with caution.

“Calmness. We must respect Celoricense, a team that, if they are in this 3rd round, it's because they have earned it. FC Porto wants to win and aims to reach the final. From our experiences in the Cup, there are often things we don't anticipate, and sometimes surprises happen.”

If they qualify for the 4th round, FC Porto will face the winner of the match between Sintrense and Rio Ave.

The matches of the third round of the Portuguese Cup will be played on the weekend of October 18 and 19, while those of the fourth round will take place on November 22 and 23.
