This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on off? Yeah, Pat, obviously, the two clubs come together this week and send out an important

message to the fans.

I just wonder what important you put on that message yourself and also what responsibility

the coaching staff and players have as well to really set the right tone in terms of their own behavior.

Yeah, let me first say that it's very positive that both clubs are cooperating.

Ferran and Billy made a good statement I think was really clear so that's the second

positive I think so I worked at Porto for seven years, I worked at PCEingover for five years, and the rivalry between

PSFino and IX was from a different level.

The rivalry between Porto and Fica and Sporting was from a different level.

But the only reason why is a

rivalry because the games matter, the games are decisive. So I really believe that we feel that in these games as well,

as an example tomorrow is a decisive game,

but we know that playing in city has this has this has this

importance to so but with rivalry comes emotion and that's good because we need emotion from the stands. We need

emotion for our players. We know we need to feel that these games matter in each

second of the game. The only problem with emotion is when there's no respect, it becomes

really harmful and that can't happen and it happened but I think to start my answer just to relate again to the start of my

answer was that I really think it's positive that both clubs are

cooperating that good statement we know that oh and I think because I name Benfica

and import to I mean final, it's not specific to the clubs, it's a football problem.

And that's really important as well.

So it's good that both clubs are cooperating.
