That's part of it, but it's also our job to always look forward. However, I saw that our players are doing everything they can to work for the goals and get the three points. ![]() I think we played a good game, it was possible to win, but we couldn't score the decisive goal to get the three points. Of course we were disappointed after the last game, with the draw. We have to keep going, and we have to score and win the game. There are 34 games to play, part of it is done, we have 29 out of 36 points, it's not perfect, but it's a good average. I've said a few times that, to be champions, we have to have a good season overall. Now we have another chance to get the three points and work on our situation in the league. The players are fine, they've recovered a bit, last week was tough with three games. That's our job and we've shown many times that we can do it. When we have these games where we don't score and it's 0-0, we have to quickly forget that disappointment and focus on the next game. That's part of it, but it's also our job to keep looking forward. I think we played a good game, it was possible to win, but we weren't able to score the decisive goal to get the three points. Our task is, as always, to play a good game from the first minute, show our good form and, of course, win the three points, because that's always important to us. We have to expect a team with nothing to lose at our stadium and who will play to surprise us. ![]() It's a team that has confidence, they started very well in the Primeira Liga and showed that on the pitch. They've scored a lot of goals, almost as many as us, that says it all. They have a lot of quality, a different style of play to last week, but also a team that has made games very difficult for their opponents. They were promoted to the Primeira Liga, they deserved it and this season they've also shown that it wasn't a coincidence. "They're in a similar situation to Moreirense. It's going to be extremely difficult, but I think we have the ability, not least because of what we've been doing in the league, to not only unnerve Benfica, but also to often impose our playing philosophy, our mentality and our criteria, which I think has given us very good results and in every game we've worked hard and fought for the three points." There are no opponents who are invincible, who are mentally superior to my players and when that's the case, we'll certainly be able to counter Benfica's power. We have to be prepared to counter that power, that way of thinking and show what we can, which I think is within our reach. What we have to do is be prepared to counter their mood, which is to look at Farense with all their ambition, try to secure the three points, and go into the game very strong. Benfica, the players and those in charge will certainly be aware that they have to do everything they can to beat Farense. We know that the title this season is probably more important than it was in the previous ones, because there are questions of entry into the Champions League and I understand that the clubs fighting for this major goal are going to have to be very focused, very dynamic and work very hard to get the points they want. In other words, they want to get back to winning ways with the aim of reaching first place again. ![]() In fact, the Benfica players themselves have been talking about the importance of the game with Farense. No, I expect more difficulties, clubs like Benfica, who are fighting for the national title, when they lose the lead, what they think about is the next game and that's with Farense. We're aiming to get points and in order to do that we have to be very focused, committed and tactically disciplined, because we know that Benfica have very strong players, not just one-on-one, they have players who create a lot of imbalances and our preparation and knowledge will be a very big basis for whether we succeed or not. We're prepared for a difficult game and to try to play positively. I think that if we're at the level I think we've been at, particularly in recent games, we'll make our opponents' task more complex and more difficult. We know we're going to have a lot of difficulties at many points in the game, but we also have to be prepared for them. Benfica are a team made up of excellent performers and a title contender. What we're aiming for is a good result against Benfica, but we're also aware of the great difficulties we're going to encounter.
