Interview with Paula: “I cannot say that the battle will be between Porto and Benfica”

Rui Moreira made history with Benfica by winning the Women's Volleyball Super Cup, but he knows that FC Porto, who won the Iberia Cup and are the current national champions, will have a fight. However, the only danger may not be from the dragon

Rui Moreira started the season with a historic victory in the Super Cup, something that the Benfica women's volleyball team had never achieved before, but which saw FC Porto, three-time national champions, win the Iberian Cup to Dragao. In the first round, a fan-friendly draw put their rivals face-to-face and Porto fans couldn't be happier.

However, the Red coach does not believe that talk about the tournament will be limited to these two teams. “I think we are the biggest competitors, because I really think we have a group of athletes Staff And the conditions that the club provides us so that we have the ambition to work hard and fight for titles. Our limit, he explains, will be what we can do under the circumstances and with the group of people we can bring together. «FC Porto, like Sporting, like Porto Vole, which finished second and did not change much in its structure from last year, SC Braga, which invested, in Guimarães, which strengthened itself, which had an excellent season, and which finished third. Place, Fiíaes Which is better, Clube K which, despite being a club that has some difficulties in bringing together Portuguese athletes due to its geographical location, always ends up being able to field a team with a couple of foreigners, is always a threat… I think The tournament is very balanced,” praises Rui Moreira.

After all, Rui Moreira doesn't want to be surprised. “I cannot say that this will be a battle between Porto and Benfica. There are favourites, but there are no favourites. I think there are favourites, but I cannot call them favourites, the others are.” StrangersThey can be annoying, but normally they can't get there. i don't think so. There are many teams fighting, at least to be in the top four and discuss Playoffs From the semi-finals.”
