Technician explains that “it is part” because the team was not playing well
Rúben Amorim analyzed Sporting’s triumph at home (2-0), against P. Ferreira, stressing that the match was “the summary of an era”. “It was a good result. We created several situations. The game was the summary of a season, there was a lot of anxiety in the stadium and it passed a little bit on to the team. [da última vez que os ouvi] because we were not playing well, either connecting and also in construction we were having difficulties. Then we got excited because we had several chances to score the 2nd goal and from there, after making it 2-0, we controlled the game. It was a kind of summary of what a footballer’s life is and the time. We live these moments all during the game. They have to understand that this is part of it. We won precisely, with zero dangerous shots from the opponent”, he stressed in statements to Sport TV.
Substitutions to take effect
“Sometimes it works out well or not. As I said, it was at that stage that we were having difficulties in the construction, passes between the central defenders and a lot of anxiety inside the stadium, but then we improved. We kept P. Ferreira’s team in their midfield. We had longer possessions. We ended up having chances.”
Why the anxiety?
“It’s part of the game and the championship. The players have to live with it. It seemed to me that the anxiety was more on the part of everyone than the team. There are times when we’re not playing well, there are others when yes. That’s what happened. It turned out to be a good result and a good game. When the opposing team takes 0 shots on target and we take several, the opposing goalkeeper makes a great display…”
Ugarte
“He’s having a good time and we have to take advantage of it. It should be noted that Palhinha is coming back, he did two weeks of excellent work. He played at the beginning and got a yellow card, being out of another game. There’s a foul. He’s been unlucky in that aspect. He’ll be left out, Ugarte will play and they’ll continue to fight for the title and the team will improve with that.”
Leaderboard and third place
“As long as it is mathematically possible… Everything is possible as seen today. I continue to believe that we are capable of preparing each game and taking the three points in each of the six games remaining.”-
