| David Luiz aims for qualification - 05 November 2009 |
David Luiz is conscious about the difficulties Benfica will face in Liverpool tonight against Everton.
The young centre-back stated the objective is to win so the Lisbon can take a step forward towards qualifying from the group.
"We will go to England with the aim to win and try to replicate our performance at home."
"We know they will press a lot. It's a compact ground and the game will be very direct, but we are prepared and hopefully everything goes in the best possible way."
The Brazilian also admitted to Benfica TV that a point would keep them in a good position in Group I, but a victory could seal qualification.
