Sérgio Conceição!
Sérgio Conceição, Porto's coach, spoke about the match and preached respect: "I expect a super-motivated team, trying to surprise, like all the lower-ranked teams in this competition. We have to be attentive and look at this opponent with the same respect and dedication that we look at all the others. It's up to us to take control of the game, within the framework of our strategy, anticipating scenarios and fielding the players who are in the best condition. There may be one or two changes to the team in terms of dynamics, as some players only trained today and had long journeys. We have to manage that and it's never easy to prepare the team at these times, but we have 11 players ready, plus those on the bench, to win and get through this tie. The next series of games could define a lot about the team's future. The events of recent times make me sad and I repudiate any kind of violence. What I saw at the AGM, as a member for 27 years, makes me sad and is reprehensible. We come from a region that is very passionate about the club and very dedicated to the cause, but we are not what we have seen in the recent past. Let that be clear. Now we have to prepare well for the games and bring joy to our members by doing better than we have done so far. The message we want to send out is that the fans must remain passionate and that they must continue to support us as they have done so far, because we're going to need them a lot."
