"I won't say anything about the lineup, nor about the opponents. The hostile atmosphere? I don't care, the pitch's the only thing that matters" has declared Sergio Conceicao. About tomorrow's Porto - Roma: "We'll be looking to win, but without being in a hurry. We know Roma's strengths, above all their attack and their ability to score goals. We'll need balance though. Every game is different and has its own story. If we develop our style we'll move onto the quarter finals".
Di Francesco lost against Lazio, Conceicao against Benfica. For both coaches, tomorrow's clash will be decisive regarding their future: "I think we're both facing difficulties. The atmosphere, the many words don't count a lot once you're on the pitch. We're prepared for a difficult game, we know that we have to be ready to face a Roma that could defend a good result really well. This is crystal clear".
His midfielder Otavio has also talked during the press conference: "We want to forget as soon as possible the Benfica game and focus on Roma. We're not stronger than them but could win, we've shown it at Olimpico. We have to dream to go to the next round. We have to improve some things and will have to score. This is important as Adrian's goal during the first leg has given us hope".
