“We want to win and fight”

PREVIEW

Speaking ahead of Benfica's visit to Bayern Munich on matchday 4 of the Champions League, league phase, Beste assured that the team will fight with all their might to return to Lisbon with the three points in their luggage.

What kind of game do you expect?

It's a completely different game to the last one we played this season in the league [against Farense]. It's different to Portuguese football, they play man-to-man, all over the pitch, press high and make a lot of transitions.

Will this be the hardest game since you arrived at Benfica?

We can say that every game is difficult in its own way. I can't say that tomorrow's game [Wednesday, November 6] is the hardest I've played so far this season. It's like I said, every game is difficult in its own way.

Have you spoken to the coach [Bruno Lage] about how Bayern can play at home? And what's the difference with the other games you've played this season?

Bayern play different football to the Portuguese teams, and we know that. I didn't talk to the coach about Bayern in particular, but about the team.

There will be more than 3,500 fans in the stands. What message do you want to leave Benfica fans?

First of all, we're very happy that so many fans have come to Germany, and have come a long way, for this cold weather. What can I expect? I expect a good game and a good result for us. That's what we're here for. Tomorrow [Wednesday, November 6], we want to win the game and we want to fight.
