Ruben Amorim has called up 21 players for the trip to Manchester, where they will face City this Wednesday in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, the most notable being the inclusion of 18-year-old young defensive midfielder Renato Vega. , who was not included in a call-up by the main team, and striker Rodrigo Ribeiro, who has already been called up for a League Cup match, against Pinavel, after it was not used.
The duo, of course, was a topic of discussion at the press conference. «[Renato Veiga e Rodrigo Ribeiro] You will have the time dictated by the game. We will give the best team and even though our project is going through training, we have to think carefully about the moments when we release the kids. Darius [Essugo]For example, he could start tomorrow, but he won’t play at first because I think it’s better not,” he said, clearly indicating that he would prefer to protect the 16-year-old midfielder in a match that demands maximum demand.
He continued: “Renato Vega is here because we have a few midfielders at the moment. Just being here with the first team helps the children grow. Rodrygo [Ribeiro] He’s a very talented kid, we need strikers and we believe in him a lot. Those responsible for the academy, the board, the coach, we all believe in him a lot and we want to speed him up, we want him to train and be with us, and in this case, we feel the need to participate in the biggest club competition.”
