Statements in the preview of the match with Tondela, which will start at 18:00 on Sunday.

The departure of FC Porto from Financial Fair Play: “I went to Vitoria at a time when I was in a very difficult period and the following year Pedro Martins joined a great team. I was struggling. In Braga, with Salvador Agra, Andre Pinto, Marcelo, Javan … The cost is zero and I had to make a team. We reached a final. PORTUGAL CUP.Here at FC Porto with great historical weight, but which was starting a difficult period financially, my job was to do my best to win., as they did, many millions of UEFA, several millions of sales and some success.

team management: “The danger has nothing to do with these two matches [Tondela e Lyon]. Tomorrow we play on day four and after that we play also on day four. Boavista can be dangerous. We play on Thursday, we come back on the same day or on Friday, we only have Saturday to recover and on Sunday we are in training, because then there is the selection period. The club and the players are ready, but we cannot hide the excessive burden on the calendar and the squads we have in Portugal. We have to look at this and manage it intelligently and creatively. Maybe I wasn’t creative in the last game, but for other reasons. I thought 11 gave me a good answer to go to Lyon with some relief in a tie, which it didn’t. I always wanted to get it right, and then condemn myself a lot, because I am too demanding of myself. But I’m also not sure that if I put in four or five different players, I’d win the match. It’s in the air.”
