Zoro has Setubal interests at heart

Defender wants to take advantage of Benfica's poor form

Vitoria Setubal's Marc Zoro will face his old club this weekend when the Sadinos host Benfica. The central defender is looking forward to the contest, but admits that Setubal come before the Lisbon club.

Having joined Benfica last year from Messina, the Ivory Coast international failed to convince Quique Flores and was loaned out to the Bonfim club. While embroiled in a relegation battle, Zoro's only concern is to help Setubal remain in the top flight.

"It is always interesting to face a former team of mine, but my main preoccupation, at this moment, is to help Vitoria Setubal stay in the top flight," said Zoro

"We are coming off two defeats, but Benfica are also not doing well. We will try and win against Benfica."

Whether he plans on making a return to Benfica in the summer, Zoro was cryptic in his response, but feels that he does deserve a place on the team's roster.

"With all due respect and admiration that I have for my companions, I believe so. But now I am not preoccupied with this; only helping Setubal."
