Al-Ittihad coach Girats is still modest despite 6/6: “It is clear that Braga is the favourite” UEFA Europa League 2022/2023

Al-Ittihad achieved 6 out of 6 in the European League. Nevertheless, Karel Gerairets likes to be in the poor position in tomorrow’s match against Braga, as he said in his press conference in Portugal today: “It is very clear that the Portuguese are the favorites in this match.”

The match could be important to the battle for first place, which means a direct qualification for the 1/8 finals. The two clubs share the lead at the moment with six out of six each. “Of course it will be an important match, but it will not be our last chance,” Gerrts remains calm.

“It’s a team with a lot of speed and technique,” Geerts said. “They are currently second in Portugal.” “It’s a great club, with a great history and experience. They go far in Europe every season. It’s very clear that they are the favourites.”

Giertes also fears the reaction of Artur Jorge’s men, who were sent off 4-1 in the tournament held in Porto last Friday. “As a player you always want to respond after a defeat and show something to the fans and the club.”
