Porto President Jorge Nuno Pinto Da Costa: “Worried About Inter Milan As A Collective More Than Individual Players” | OneFootball

Porto President Jorge Nuno Pinto Da Costa feels that whilst Inter have quality in terms of their individual players, it is their strength as a collective that the Portuguese side must be wary of tomorrow.

Speaking to Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview published in today’s print edition, via FCInterNews, the Porto President gave his thoughts ahead of tomorrow evening’s match.

Inter and Porto can both call on any number of top-class players across all positions on the pitch.

However, as the first leg of the Champions League round of sixteen tie between the two at the San Siro showed, both team’s real strength may well lie in their organization and ability to operate as a unit.

Accordingly, when the Nerazzurri face off with the Portuguese champions at the Estadio do Dragao tomorrow evening, they will know well that they must maintain this aspect just as much as rely on individual quality, as it could be what decides the tie.\

“Inter have quality players,” Pinto Da Costa said, “but we’re more worried about their quality as a collective, that’s how they can win.”
