Benfica: Youth Players Set to Debut Weekly?

josé Mourinho, Benfica‘s coach, previewed the match with Moreirense this Sunday in Moreira de Cónegos, stating they are a quality opponent.

“They’ve made a very strong start to the championship, playing well both at home adn away. They have a lot of experienced players and know how to approach these kinds of games. It’s a arduous ground, for various reasons, and they’re a well-drilled team coached by a young manager [Vasco Botelho da Costa] who is having a good career. But we need to win, and we have to go with that goal in mind. We covered a lot of ground against Napoli, but there’s also an emotional toll and the pressure inherent in such a concentrated game. We have to focus on getting the victory. The matches against Nacional and V. Guimarães were also very difficult, and we managed to win,” the coach told BTV.
