This Wednesday, Moreno previewed the match against Hajduk Split, counting for the first leg of the third qualifying round of the Conference League. The Vitória de Guimarães coach did not hide his ambition in the visit to Croatia.
“Expectations are good. We are very motivated to face a historic opponent, in a fantastic environment and a good result for us here would be to win. If this is not possible, the tie is what satisfies us. But what brought us here is to play well, to have our identity and to win the game”, he explained.
Invited to talk about the opponent, Moreno ended up identifying Krovinovic, a former Benfica midfielder who now plays for the Croatian team.
«We admit that Hajduk Split may, at some points in the game, force us to join lines and not apply pressure as high as we did with Puskás Akademia. This is because we recognize a lot of quality in the opponent, there are young people who in a few years will be at a much higher level, athletes who have already reached a very high level in Europe, athletes who are at a mature age, in this case I am referring to Krovinovic who has already been in Portugal. But we want to play the game and we will play with the aim of winning, “he concluded.
An ambition shared by central André Amaro.
“At this time of the season, every game is difficult. This phase is always more difficult because the team is getting along and we are acquiring the processes that the manager wants. Hajduk Split are a great team, but we are completely ready for this challenge. We know that it is a very difficult environment, but we are more than used to playing in very good environments, as we have the case of Estádio D.Afonso Henriques that leaves us prepared», he shot.
