Two days before the reunion with Benfica, Rui Vitória gave an interview to Spartak Moscow channel, where he addressed the third qualifying round of the Champions League. The Portuguese coach, who had a spell at Luz, drew several comparisons.
“Benfica and Spartak are very similar in terms of organization, fans, and the greatness of the club in the country. I still have a lot of friends there, but in this game I will look to score goals and secure victory for Spartak. It will be an interesting meeting», began by explaining.
Second place in the last edition of the Russian championship, Rui Vitória assumed that the responsibility rests with the eagles.
«Games at this level are decided in small details. You can never lower concentration. Benfica are a very strong and experienced team, but we have nothing to lose and that could be a small advantage. The responsibility is all on Benfica’s side and we can take advantage of that», he concluded.
