Jorge Jesus alerts to the dangers of a powerful Boavista side

Jorge Jesus is fully focused on the weekend's hosting of Boavista, but alerted to the dangers posed by the visitors from the north who took Sporting CP to the wire in the reverse fixture.

"Boavista are one of the historic names in Portuguese football. They have won the league and they have a nice history, but on Saturday all that matters is on the pitch. They are a quality side who are well drilled collectively against the bigger sides", opened Jesus, highlighting the importance of creativity if his side are to carry on their run of seven unbeaten matches: "I want the players to keep calm and to focus for a match that will be hard fought. Boavista are a strong side from free-kicks and corners and they can give a good match to Portugal's best sides. We are ready, but we will have to be creative."

Jesus finished with a word on Iuri Medeiros, who is currently on loan with Boavista: "Iuri has grown and is a regular starter, which shows that Boavista are good collectively."
