Nuno Dias looks ahead to Sunday's UEFA Futsal Cup final

Nuno Dias and Jesus Velasco were both in the Almaty Arena press room this Saturday, ahead od Sunday's UEFA Futsal Cup showdown. Dias started by congratulating the Inter Movistar coach on reaching the final for a second consecutive season, having missed out last season on home soil again this year's host's Kairat.

"We sat up last night doing a bit of analysis. Ugra rely on using their pivots, with strong players who are really tough in the individual battle. Tactically Inter are a lot more mobile and they get around the court more. They are really aggressive in defence and have some well drilled tactics. Both semi-finals were identical, with both finalists winning by a single goal. This is going to be a really balanced game, although the odds are on for Inter, who have already won this competition three times. They are top of the league considered as the best in the world", said Nuno Dias.

Although faced by an almost terrifyingly brilliant Inter side, Nuno Dias sees his side's spirit and unity as the key to claiming the silverware: "The spirit amongst the lads has been fantastic during this competition. We are in great form right now and enjoying what is the best club competition in the world. What makes the difference could be something just like what happened in the semi-final. There will be moments when Sporting CP is better and others when Inter is. Everything will depend on if we can come together and suffer together when we have to. We will have to defend with everything we have got and surprise Inter when we can."
