Chaves: "We are well prepared"

Arthur, welcome back to Portugal. What gives you confidence that things will go better in Braga than they did in Porto?

"I'm always happy to go back to Portugal. We hope that it will go differently this time from how it went in Porto. We are really well prepared and optimistic that we'll get a good result."

What characterises Sporting Braga, what do you need to look out for?

"I know Braga very well, they're a well known club in Portugal. They have various strengths that you can pick out. They have a lot of quality in their attack especially. We need to look out for that and we were prepared well for it."

You left Portugal as a second division player, and now you're returning as a Bundesliga player. Would you ever have expected that?

"You work towards an opportunity like this your whole life. Now I'm playing in a big league. I feel very at home at TSG and received a very warm welcome. That's what I've been training for since I was young, and it makes me very happy."
