Porto midfielder Alan Varella recently attended the pre-Football World Cup press conference and talked about the next match with Miami International and Messi.
About Miami International and Messi
"This will be extremely difficult, and facing Miami International and the best players in the world is challenging. We must go all out, rely on teamwork and block Messi's event space. The opponent also has top players like Alba and Busquets, and playing against them is both special and requires showing our determination to fight for the team."
Reaction after a draw with Palmeiras
"The draw will not make us relax. They perform well and are strong opponents, but we will focus on improving. Victory is always our goal, and I hope we can start to break through from this battle." The tactical game between the two Argentine coaches
"We Porto have our own tactical system, and they are the same, and ultimately depends on on-the-spot performance."
Portuguese football evaluation of Miami International
"In my opinion, there is no weak team. Those who perform better in the 90-minute game will win. They are by no means secondary teams, neither below us nor inferior to any opponent. Having the best player in the world has shown challenges."
The cohesion of the team
"We have been united since the beginning of the season, and despite the ups and downs, we have always worked together. After going through the trough, it is the time to prove that we deserve the glory of the club."
}South American clubs' performance in the Club World Cup
"I was not surprised by their outstanding performance. These teams are strong and can always cause trouble for European clubs. Boca Youth? I am delighted with their fan atmosphere. Whether in Miami, Brazil or Japan, they can always fill the entire stadium. The atmosphere on the first game is shocking. They proved with their actions that they are one of the world's top clubs and have the most fanatical fans."
