Vizela have two more points in this second round than in the first. And in the last five games, if we played a five-game league, we’d be seventh. That data is real. Of course we’re prepared. I have two objectives: the first is to stay in the league, and the second is that, before the season is over, in this kind of sanctuary we play a game like God tells us to, with character, competing and looking our rivals in the eye. They’ve got good players and other objectives, but what I want is to compete, to play and to cause trouble for FC Porto. If they win at their level, then so be it. But we’re competing. We have the chance to win points because the good thing about soccer is that anything is possible. So we have everything to win and that’s the mission we have to set out on, I have to infect the players and they have to show it. We can’t have a period like in Luz, when 30 minutes destroy the game and the team’s performance. We have a beautiful challenge ahead of us, and it’s a game against a major European soccer club.
Have we captivated the fans? We’ve captivated them because we’ve won. What we have to do is compete, attack and defend well, pay attention to every detail. That’s what you have to control, especially against these teams. When you make a mistake, they might not take advantage of it, but in these games it usually means a goal. It’s simple. We have to be solid in the game, have calmness and personality, have good emotional control of what’s going on, but also courage. That requires a very strong collective version, but also the best individual version of each one of us, We have to control every detail in 90-something minutes of maximum demand.”
No, we have a very large cold room, they go in and after two minutes they come out in a fantastic way. These are moments that happen in soccer, it wasn’t Wendell and Galeno who failed, it was the team that failed, it’s not a problem. The problem was if they didn’t fulfill something that was set. They played an excellent game, the whole team was in those boots and we all suffered like they did, they’re not responsible, I’m responsible, always. That doesn’t affect me in the slightest, of course we’re all affected by the elimination, but that’s all there is to it.
I see it the same way and feel the same way [about Francisco Conceição in the national team] as I do about Galeno and Wendell. I’m happy for them. João Mário was also called up, sometimes I pull his ears, but I’m as happy as if he were my son. They’re all my children (laughs). Don’t give me a hard time”.
