Pereira hopes Porto prove themselves against PSG

FC Porto and Paris Saint-Germain FC may be in buoyant mood after winning their respective openers in UEFA Champions League Group A, but neither coach is taking anything for granted ahead of matchday two. Vítor Pereira is wary but "has faith in our own ability", while PSG's Carlo Ancelotti is keen to play down his team's chances.

Porto
Coach Vítor Pereira
The last match in Zagreb only left good memories. The team showed great tactical maturity and our identity was expressed throughout the match. We prepared for this game as we always do, passing information to the players as usual. We will play as we do all the time, controlling the ball.

We're not going to worry only about [Zlatan] Ibrahimović, because there are 11 players in a team and PSG have a great side, individually and collectively. But they'll be up against a great team too.

This year we want a Champions League campaign that reflects our quality. Being favourites in this competition [as PSG are] doesn't mean much, as we saw last year, so we just have to play match by match.

PSG
Coach Carlo Ancelotti
Porto are the stronger team, they have more experience in this competition. For us it is a very good test of our confidence. Playing an 'Italian style' is not necessarily a bad thing; Italy won the 2006 World Cup that way and they have plenty more titles. It is just a different way of approaching a match.

Porto play differently to us. I don't think they are weaker without Hulk, they're just playing differently and they have their own identity. With Thiago Silva our defence has improved considerably. We're in a good moment, we have a good atmosphere in the changing room and this is the perfect time to play Porto. They have a good defence and a good attack, but it all depends on how the match pans out. It will be great if we win.
