Vieira: I will be at the Maracana on Thursday, full stadium for the triumph against Benfica

- Crvena zvezda and Benfica are two big clubs in my career and I am very proud to have worn the jerseys of the two mentioned teams. I expect a great game, considering that the teams play similarly, we can expect a lot of opportunities to score on both sides - started Vieira.

The former striker of our club revealed the importance of solid defense in the upcoming match.

- I watched the Zvezda games this season and they really seem to be of high quality. I like that the team is very combative and doesn't concede many goals. If they are up to the task defensively, the Red Star footballers can achieve a positive result against the Portuguese team .

The Portuguese striker will be at the stadium on Thursday cheering on Zvezda.

- I will be at the stadium on Thursday and support Red Star. There is no doubt that the atmosphere will be great, the Maracana is known to have the best fans in the world. This is exactly why I think that Benfica will have an even more difficult task, because I don't believe that they have encountered this kind of atmosphere many times .

The new format of the Champions League is in front of the players of Red Star, but Vieira believes in red and white.

- Due to the new format of the competition, it will be even more difficult for all teams to advance to the knockout stage. Nevertheless, Zvezda can reach the round of 16. Visiting the Maracana is very difficult, and it will be difficult for all the teams that come to Belgrade to overcome the red and whites - concluded Vieira.
