Carlos Carvalyal promises the “ambitious” SC Braga in Luza to add three points and beat Benfica. But Warriors coach Minho stressed the fatigue inflicted on his players by Thursday’s Europa League match against Ludogorets, noting that there are seven of them at risk of being in tomorrow’s match.
Always not looking or saying a lot about the opponent, Carvalyal did not allow Benfica to praise, but immediately singled out his team: “I look at SC Braga, knowing that the opponent has great players and a great coach, as well as the atmosphere and the Field is always difficult play. In short, they will create huge difficulties, but they will find an ambitious SC Braga who will do what they have done since we came to this club, that is, approach the game, try to decompose the opponent and try to win, knowing that the opponent has many more strengths, but there are small details that can matter, and we will try to study it. “
Braga beat Benfica na Luz last season and beat the Eagles in the League Cup semi-finals and the Portuguese Cup final. When faced with the question of whether Joao Mariu and Yaremchuk’s additions to the capital’s set could change the strength, the coach turned his nose away again, speaking of Benfica, and preferred to refer to the difference in rest time that the two teams had in relation to the European challenges.
“I am addressing SC Braga. My technical team and I analyzed Benfica, which has its own dynamics and we have to play boldly and decisively, but we have a different time frame for recovery, because the opponent played on Tuesday and we on Thursday. What’s more, analysis of creatine kinase, which measures muscle behavior, showed that if there were play today, there would be seven players who could not play. Some of them recover better than others, let’s see in practice who will be able to play. “
Leaving the press center, Carlos Carvalyal congratulated coach Kinito, who is now 73 years old.
