The coach of the Portuguese team’s words: “We have come from a great result against Hoffenheim and I am sure it will be a grand match with two teams that will give everything on the field.”

Tomorrow, Roma will return to play in the Europa League, the game is scheduled for 18:45 at the Olympic Stadium against Sporting Braga. Carlos Carvalhal, coach of the Portuguese team, and Ricardo Horta spoke on the eve of the match. This is what the coach had to say:

“What do you think of Roma?” “A great team with many national level players. They usually play with a five-man line, a team that likes to press hard just like us. “The collective is very strong, from the start of the season they’re the strongest team we have faced. I hold Ranieri in high esteem, I listened to his press conference and he made a correct analysis,” What result would satisfy you? “It would be victory, we never settle. The key will be concentration because we can’t afford distractions”. “Roma is going through a tough time, is it a good opportunity for Braga? “It’s not like that, we are coming off a great result against Hoffenheim and I am sure it will be a great match with two teams that will give their all on the field.”

On the ongoing challenge with Ranieri? “The hope is to always do better over the course of one’s career. The cat and mouse tactic, everyone has their own unique way to play, yet it’s all about the ability to interpret the game. We have our own style of play which is rooted in being offensive and attacking and we certainly won’t change that tomorrow. “We will take the field with courage.”

These are the words of the Portuguese striker:

What do you think about the atmosphere of the Olympic Stadium? “The last time we were here was during the pandemic, we didn’t have the opportunity to feel the atmosphere. “But we’re not here for that. We have to play, show our soccer, and score points.” Is this a critical moment for you? “The significance of this game is the same as the previous ones. At this stage, we don’t know how many points are needed to reach our goal, but we know that seven points won’t be enough to qualify. “It’s essential to play offensive soccer with the hunger to score.”

What could make the difference in this game?

“I believe a very crucial detail in these European matches is concentration.” “The team must remain focused throughout the 90 minutes. On the other side, we will face top-tier players, a highly skilled team capable of punishing us at any moment. The critical point here is concentration and commitment, something that the team has sometimes lacked.” Your instructions do not contain any specific text to translate.
