Rui Vitória

Rui Vitória revealed three key points to have in mind in the home match against Manchester United, a game from Matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage.

“Above all is recognizing that we are going to face a team with a lot of quality and that is increasingly in sync with their coach. Last year, Manchester United made a good campaign and this year the team is more identified with José [Mourinho]. Then, Salvio's words reflect our spirit. We have confidence in ourselves. Of course the previous games didn't go the way we wanted, but our quality is superior to the results we got. We have to fight for what we believe. No one wins nothing if they don't believe in it first. Then, three key points: the concentration levels, the tactical discipline and the players' inspiration”, said the coach, at the press conference held on Tuesday, at Estádio da Luz.

It's an important game. But we should never think about the consequences of the match before playing it. Then we'll look at what might happen. But it is an encounter with a great level of demand. There are games that can become very complicated but at the same time can be very motivating. We have to look at the qyalities of the opponent and put our strategy on the field, "said the coach.

The game from Matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage is scheduled for 7:45 pm this Wednesday, at Estádio da Luz and the German Felix Zwayer will be the referee.
