Atmosphere won´t intimidate us against Fenerbahce Benfica coach Jorge Jesus does not feel that an intimidating atmosphere will harm his players when they take on Fenerbahce at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Thursday.
The 58-year-old feels that the experience of his side playing at home in a rowdy Estadio de Luz will help them and feels the tie is more likely to be decided by how well his defence deals with Fenerbahce's front line, which includes the likes of Dirk Kuyt, Moussa Sow and Miroslav Stoch.
"Most problems will probably come from their agile front players," Jesus told reporters. "We know that this match will not decide anything but it can help us."

Messi defends decision to play Lionel Messi has admitted that he did not feel '100 per cent comfortable' in the devastating 4-0 defeat by Bayern Munich.
The Argentina international had not featured for Barcelona since making a rapid return from a hamstring strain to lead his side into the last four at the expense of Paris Saint-Germain on April 10.
