18/02/2010 J. Ferreira: "Certify the quality of the team'
The coach of FC Porto had said, in anticipation of receiving the Arsenal, that the game of the knockout-phase of the UEFA Champions League would be a certificate of the status of the team, faced with an obstacle of the highest level. The 2-1 victory came as a 'stamp' in this kind of 'diploma' that the Dragões searched for and opens good perspectives for the second leg.
To score in London "The result favors the team that plays at home in the second leg, but I feel that until the game against Arsenal there will be more games and the ability to recover and rest more players. It is a game that will be played more on the mental than tactical part. None of the teams will change its way of playing, it will be a game like this, where control of time and play spaces will be decisive. The decision of the eliminatory will depend on how we prepare ourselves emotionally. I hope to score goals in London." |
