“I don’t see things like that. There are very strong clubs in the Europa League. The Portuguese in Europe are never the favourites. We want to win the next game. If in Portugal I say that the objective is to win the next game, then imagine in Europe. I want the players to feel comfortable, that Marcus [Edwards] and teammates kick further to the goal [comparativamente ao duelo com o FC Porto]», shot.
About Midtjylland, who haven’t played an official game since November: “For me, games are always dangerous, but I also think that competition makes teams grow. I look at an opponent who always plays in 4-3-3, he also did it in the friendlies we saw, and in my opinion I don’t think we will be surprised in the way we play. Now, we come from a defeat and that doesn’t help the preparation of a match.»
