Nobody has scored against them yet this season. If you want a goal against Porto you will have to be near perfect, because they give almost nothing away.
“Isto só no campeonato, porque, na verdade, contando com a Supertaça, são cinco jogos sem sofrer golos.”And that is in the league alone, because in fact, counting the Super Cup, it is five games without conceding a goal. our translation
Both wingers stay high and wide and keep running at the full-back. They rarely come inside to knock it about — the first thought is straight at goal.
“Joga com dois extremos muito irrequietos, verticais, muito profundos”They play with two very restless wingers, direct, going very deep our translation
They tend to strike early and then settle. Watch the opening twenty minutes — if they get in front, the game usually goes quiet after that because they are happy to control it.
“Convertemos logo as nossas primeiras oportunidades em golo e fomos muito felizes a finalizar.”We turned our very first chances straight into goals and we were very sharp in front of goal. our translation
Sabah's coach on Slavia: the moment they win the ball it goes straight forward, where their attackers are already waiting.
“To znamená, že jakmile získají míč, balon jde okamžitě nahoru, kde jsou hráči připraveni útočit.”That means that as soon as they win the ball, it goes straight forward, where players are ready to attack. our translation
They defend man-to-man all over the pitch. Whoever you are, someone is going with you.
“Neviděl jsem žádný jiný tým hrát takovým způsobem v defenzivě. Ať už je to pod vysokým tlakem, nebo v bloku. Prostě brání jeden na jednoho.”I haven't seen any other team defend like that. Whether it's pressing high or sitting in a block. They simply defend one-on-one. our translation
In the derby they picked four centre-backs and simply man-marked the dangerous players out of the game.
“Prostě se rozhodli hrát se čtyřmi stopery a pokrýt naše ofenzivní hráče”They simply decided to play with four centre-backs and cover our attacking players our translation
