Read moreAlthough disappointed to have missed out on a place in the UEFA Futsal Cup final, the coaches of Araz Naxivan and Luparense C/5 said both sets of players are ready to give their all in order to triumph in Sunday's bronze medal match.Angry after witnessing his side "making too many mistakes" in their 8-4 semi-final defeat to hosts SL Benfica, Sito Rivera said his team now needed to respond so that the Serie A1 side could leave the Portuguese capital with their heads held high."We are certainly going to have to be a lot more clever than we were against Benfica on Friday," the Luparense coach said.

"We have to play for our pride and to show we are a better team than we were against Benfica.

We know Araz have good players like Thiago and Serjo so it won't be an easy or straightforward game."Araz coach Alesio said he was preparing to spend long periods in the screening room to learn all he can about Sunday's opponents.

"We will study Luparense's recent games to see what we can do but after our [5-2] loss to Intervi Madrid the most important thing will be to work on the psychological side of things as that result hurt us."
