In a press conference, the FC Porto coach highlighted the demands of the League and the greatness of the European results. Tank to refill «I feel small differences in the team for these games, especially when we play every three days. It's difficult to maintain physical and mental rhythm. Even more mental.

Sp. Braga also qualified in the top-8 of the Europa League, like us. These results say a lot about the quality of the League.” Elogio a Froholdt «Froholdt has a distinct profile and it is very important to count on him, but we must also know how to manage the effort. We have Eustáquio, with a more defensive profile. Let’s go game by game.”
