Odysseas: "We will give the our best and the fans will be the 12th man"

PREVIEW

On Tuesday night, October 25, there will be a big game at Estádio da Luz! At 8:00 pm, Benfica hosts Juventus in a match on matchday 5 of group H of the Champions League. 

What do you think is the biggest difficulty for the match against Juventus?

We know the quality of the Juventus team, which is experienced. We know they have many quality players and we will try to face them giving our best. We are confident, i a good situation, and, like in every match, tomorrow [Tuesday] will step onto the pitch to win. We play at home. It is always a great atmosphere and I am happy to play with a sold out Estádio da Luz. The supporters are the 12th man on the pitch.

How does the team feel before this important match for the Champions League and after the victory in the clássico against FC Porto??

It is always good to win a clássico. We are happy about that, but now we will face another team. We are in a good moment, we have the opportunity to qualify [for the round of 16], but because we deserve, and we have shown it in the other matches.

You made some important saves this season. How do you analyze your work?

It always feels good to help the team, but we're all doing a great job on defense. It's teamwork. In this style of football, we try to pressure the opponent in their defensive midfield and try to win balls there. All players want to keep a clean sheet to be closer to the victory.
