"We haven't turned in the best results lately, but we know we are playing good football. We are creating chances and that brings confidence, no matter who you are playing against. Académica are a really strong side, with a logn history in Portuguese football. They defend well and it will be a hard match, but we want the three points as always", said the Alvalade defender.
