Rúben Amorim wants “confusion” in Luz – Futebol

The game with Gil Vicente has this attractive to guarantee the Champions League and lengthen the fight for the title. So we made a mess the next week [clássico Benfica-FC Porto na Luz]which is always good to liven up the championship.” It was in this way that Rúben Amorim approached the need for Sporting to beat the gilistas in this Sunday’s match, still projecting (with a smile on his lips) the game between the two rivals, with this circumstance that FC Porto can be champion on Benfica’s ground.

The coach also recognizes that the victory allows “to keep a ray of hope” in the fight for the title, although he admits: “It’s not that I believe very much in that possibility.”

About the opponent, Amorim praises the “great quality”. “They’ve grown a lot this year. It’s a well-crafted team, with a very good defensive transition. Both teams still have goals and will come forward with the will to win.”

In a week in which news of people interested in the coach appeared again, Amorim reiterates his desire to continue in Alvalade: “My idea is to fulfill the contract with Sporting. I say this in a good or less good phase. I am happy here. maybe now they don’t like me that much, but I want to stay at Sporting. I really like my players. I want to take the next step and it’s not time to start a new project. As a player, I fulfilled my contracts, I only left halfway through when I finished career, I finished a year early.”

Regarding the rumors that he had been involved in aggressions with Slimani, the coach explained: “It’s a lie. Even for Slimani it’s not positive because he’ll have to find another situation to play. We didn’t even have a discussion. neat. Slimani didn’t behave even close to that. I’m Sporting’s coach and I would never lower myself to that level of beating up a player.”

“Plant designed for this system”
“We have more and more nuances that change the way we attack and defend. The squad is designed for this system and we can’t do everything”, said Amorim about 3x4x3.

Four at risk due to yellow
Luís Neto, Nuno Santos, Pedro Gonçalves and Ugarte are the four Sporting players at risk of missing the game against Portimonense, if they see another yellow card against Gil Vicente.
