„Porto“ coach Sergio Conceicao once again confirmed the name of a smart strategist. Yesterday, the Portuguese surprised everyone by defeating Turin's „Juventus“ 2:1 at home, kicking off the UEFA Champions League quarter-final series with a victory. "Of course, I am disappointed that we conceded a goal, especially since in the 71st minute we completely silenced and locked down the „Juventus“ team. We applied pressure against the strongest opponents in the field, including Adrien Rabiot in the safe zone, as well as noting that Federico Chiesa, with the ball, leaves the opponents behind him, and Cristiano Ronaldo plays fantastically in the penalty area. „Porto“ played tactically well, but let's not forget that we have only gone halfway. Of course, such a game did not leave fans with many impressions, as we defended more than we attacked, but against „Juventus“ we couldn't play any other way," said the specialist after the match.
