Benfica's response to the fall in the Europa League: "It is the prerogative of the big teams, of great players, like Benfica. They want to quickly rectify a bad result and rectify a bad result is in the next game show all its quality. We entered fearful against an experienced Benfica, exchanging the ball very well, with good possession, knew how to manage. We made it easier by the lack of arguments to press, we had difficulties marking the midfielders and the Benfica wingers".

Moment of the goals: "In a transition, the first goal happened, a ball lost in midfield, Di María and company end up scoring the goal. We were prepared for that, but it happens. We balanced, we got the goal and we had some situations, Benfica too. The game was very divided, the two teams with possession of the ball, trying to get close to the goal and then a play came up in which Benfica easily reached 2-1 and knew how to manage possession of the ball".

Strategy at half-time: "We knew that we would have a difficult task in the second half, Benfica took away the impetus that we had planned, to be more aggressive and play in the last third, so that Benfica would become disorganized, but then comes the experience and quality of their players who knew how to wait for the moment to make it 3-1. We complicated the game for Benfica, but it was not enough, because Benfica were very good, especially because of the experience they showed in this game".

Difficulties imposed on the 'big ones': "The players have worked very well to make a peaceful championship, it is a club with a good structure, who likes the club and fans who really like Farense. Faro lives football a lot and all this makes us realize that Farense has arguments to stay in Portuguese football for many years. It is a difficult task, we have to be humble and recognize our limitations. We are in the middle of the table, there are four games left, we want to move up a few places".

Fight for permanence: "Concentration and respect for the opponents are necessary, all of them very strong. At this stage it is difficult to get points, the point is too expensive and the teams are balanced. Concentration will be decisive in these days. We have four games with opponents with the same ambitions and we have to be stronger to get victories and the tranquility we want".
