"It was a direct duel that we had to win"

With a direct influence on the achievement of another 3 points in the Liga Betclic, as he scored the second goal in Benfica's 0-3 triumph against Vitória SC on matchday 30 of the competition, Álvaro Carreras was the spokesman for the team at the end of the match.

Aware that the opponents “have good support at home, know how to play well and like to have the ball”, the defender acknowledged the difficulty of the match against the Vimaranenses, which took place on Saturday evening, April 19, at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques.

"In the end, it was a direct duel that we had to win and, from the first goal, we knew how to handle the pressure well and keep it up," analyzed the Glorioso number 3 in a quick interview with Sport TV.

ÁLVARO CARRERAS' GOAL

Álvaro Carreras believes that the upcoming matches will be just as demanding, but he assured the Eagles of his full concentration: "We know that every game between now and the end of the competition will be like this, but we're focused on thinking game by game, and that's what we're going to do."

"We're focused on every match, no matter who our rivals are. We think about ourselves, our team, and we know that we're all going to give a lot together," said the full-back, who also stressed that the Benfica players will "have to give everything until the end".
