Speaking at a press conference, Benfica coach Lage introduced the match against Juve: “I have already talked about some things we cannot do as a team. The problems are solved inside the field, we have already talked to each other. We have to train, improve and practice on the field. Only this. I know what I have to do. I know the steps that are missing to get to be more continuous, the time the team needs. There are no details that can be solved with just one practice. It takes dedication, work, I have to know how to grow the team to make it more continuous.”

On Juve he added: “They have defensive and offensive weapons, there is competence in their roster. We have to do our best, we have an opportunity to add points and move forward. We have to outline the 11, fix the details, but we want to practice what we know and show our unity and determination to continue in this Champions. Decisive challenge? We just have to look at what we did. We haven’t won with Monaco in a long time and we won. Tomorrow is the last of this phase of the league, we had an opportunity to have the points by scoring 4 goals with Barça but we lost 5-4. Tomorrow we have an opportunity to play better than our opponents because we want to make great performances in the Champions Cup.” In the meantime comes a cracking announcement: Zirkzee to Juve! <<<
