After Estoril’s third consecutive slip, Bruno Pinheiro did not spare his critics, admitting that the defeat was fair and that the team has to recover the winning mentality and “do more”.
«The dynamics of victory cost a lot to achieve, Estoril had a fantastic season last year, arrives at the League with great merit and perhaps in doubt about our abilities, everyone was humble, worked, united and the victories were emerging . When there comes a time when we think we’re fine and start playing on tiptoe… things disappear very quickly, it’s very easy to lose what you’ve achieved, it’s going to take work to regain this mentality, but who is in Estoril you’ll have to have that mentality otherwise you won’t be able to continue in Estoril. We all want more, but to want more you have to do more», said the stylist technician, speaking to Sport TV.
And rejected that the team has gone into euphoria for being in the fight for European places. “I wouldn’t say that, no one is dazzled, but at some point it started to feel like things were easy. We lost well because the game has 90 minutes, it’s not enough to play 45. In Tondela it was the same thing, we played 30 minutes very good and 60 minutes at a low level and when that is the case, we are closer to losing. Let’s get back to the humility we always had and work harder, because without running more than the opponent is not enough.»
