Jesualdo Ferreira: «We will look for the victory»

Jesualdo Ferreira made his approach to the next F.C. Porto match against Arsenal, rejecting the idea that his team will only chase a draw that will qualify both clubs to the UEFA Champions League knockout phase. In this Tuesday press conference, in the Dragão Stadium, the Blue and White coach stated that his side will look for the victory, that’s the only result that combines with the Dragons philosophy.

The match
«This match has a specific characteristic which allows both teams to qualify with a draw. F.C. Porto and Arsenal know that. We are confident for this match and we will look for the victory. It wouldn’t make sense to educate and teach the players a winning philosophy and then ask them to only think about drawing».

Honours
«Arsenal has a great team with great players and we might be driven to think they are favourites, but F.C. Porto conquered more national and international titles than this big English club».

Hamburguer SV-CSKA Moscow
«There are two results that are good for us, so we don’t want to know what will be happening in Hamburg».

Thierry Henry
«The fact that Henry will be off is Wenger’s problem. He is an influent forward, but Arsenal has a strong and balanced team that can cope and perform well without him».
