Bruno Lages strategy pressure and counterattack
Benfica coach Bruno Lage will not make drastic changes to his approach In the previous match his team was compact in defense and lethal on the counterattack The key will be the quick ball recovery by their backline formed by Otamendi and Antonio Silva in the center and Araujo and Fernandez on the flanks
In midfield Aursnes Barreiro Kokcu Schjelderup and Akturkoglu form a block ready to execute fast transitions as soon as the defense regains possession The idea is to find Pavlidis Benficas star striker in a favorable position to finish against the blaugrana goalkeeper
