Marco Costa previews Sporting’s Champions League debut: 10-0 | OneFootball

Marco Costa gave his preview for Sporting's debut in the Champions League. In an exclusive interview for our Newspaper, the actor and Sporting fan believes that the green and whites are obliged to win against Kairat next Thursday, September 18, despite the Kazakhs expressing their desire to win in Lisbon.

"It's to give 10-0. They are from Kazakhstan, it's the longest journey in the history of the Champions League, about 10 hours. I don't think it's logical that there are teams like these in the Champions League because there is a tremendous inequality. Then, I don't even consider that Europe and I think there is a great disparity between leagues," he begins.

Despite the obligation to win, Marco Costa believes there can be surprises, mentioning a surprising defeat of Sporting in European competitions: "A few years ago we didn't go to Kazakhstan, but we played against Skenderbeu and we lost. So, there are always surprises, but Sporting is already realigning and learning to play with Suarez".

In conclusion, the well-known actor and Sporting fan revealed the importance that a good campaign in the Champions League can have on the accounts of the Alvalade Club for the rest of the season: "The Champions League gives encouragement. We all know what happened last year, that we were well positioned with Ruben Amorim and he left at a crucial time".

"I hope for a victory, I don't get on tiptoes because it's a team from Kazakhstan, but a victory is always important. Then there go the PSG's of life, but last year we already had the great Manchester City and it fell. Let's see if this year it won't be the same thing", concluded Marco Costa.
