Fejsa: "A good match and a good result"

Ahead of Benfica's official debut in the 2018/19 season, Fejsa sees a team focused and ready for the match against Fenerbahçe, at 8 pm on Tuesday, at Estádio da Luz.

To achieve "a good result" in the first leg of the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League is the season's first objective, as points out the Serbian defensive midfielder.

How did your work week go before the game with Fenerbahçe at the Estádio da Luz?

The team is well and ready to carry out the first game of the season the best way possible. The first match is always very difficult. I believe in a good match and in a good result for us. Fenerbahçe is a great team, but we are focused on ourselves and on doing the best game possible, that is the most important. To play at our Stadium, close to our supporters, is always very good.

How do you feel physically for this season start?

I am feeling very well. I am preparing myself well and I will be at 100 percent.

What do you think of Alfa Semedo, a player who also plays in our position and who was signed in this summer transfer window?

Alfa is an excellent player. I am sure that he will have a very good journey at Benfica. He is young, a player with a lot of quality.
