Bento "Twente are strong tactically"
Tuesday 04 August 2009
Sporting Lisbon have a lot of
respect for FC Twente, but the Portuguese think they
have a good chance to reach the next round of qualification
for the Champions League tonight after the 0-0 draw
in Lisbon last Wednesday.
"Since the draw I have known
we were dealing with a difficult opponent,"Lisbon-coach
Bento said yesterday.
"FC Twente build up well and
on top they have some very fast forwards. They are very
strong tactically as well."
Bento doesn't think the 0-0 result
from the first leg is a disadvantage for Sporting.
"We didn't manage to win the
first game, and that's what we wanted. But apart from
a win this was the best possible result. I think chances
are still 50-50."
In the first leg the best opportunity
for the Portuguese to score came when they were awarded
a penalty.
But substitute goalkeeper Nikolay
Mihaylov stopped João Moutinho's effort.
"But when we get another penalty
it will again be Moutinho who will take it."
