The coach of Lisbon's "Benfica" team, Jorge Jesus, promises attacking football in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final match against "Juventus". In the first match, the Portuguese team won 2:1 on their home ground thanks to a late goal from Rodrigo Lima, but even with the acquired advantage, the coach does not think about defensive tactics. "Scoring a goal is a necessity for us. We have the necessary players for that. Their talent and character are exactly what will allow us to play attacking football," the strategist reassured. "Juventus" is well aware of the potential we have in attack. We are not accustomed to their style of play, so in order to achieve a positive result, we will have to look for unusual ways." "We arrived in Turin with an advantage after the first match. Although it will be a very difficult game, we will remain ourselves. Regardless of how we start the match, scoring a goal will be our goal. Everything will depend on the circumstances unfolding during the match. The "Juventus" team that has reached the semi-finals has proven its class, but we are preparing for this match just like any other." This week, statements from representatives of the "Benfica" club that UEFA deliberately seeks to help the "Juventus" team reach the final have caused some controversy, but the Portuguese team's victories architect refused to engage in empty talk. "The most important thing is to be properly prepared for the match. Our team does not discuss such statements. These comments were likely just a diversion to reduce tension before the match," pondered J. Jesus. The matches between "Juventus" and "Benfica" teams will kick off at 22:00 Lithuanian time.
