Petit, coach of Boavista, believed that referees should, in the near future, speak immediately after matches. Faced with this problem, Sérgio Conceição was pragmatic.
«I don’t have to comment on the words of my colleague and friend, I don’t think I have to, because talking about them is like reviewing my team’s game. I don’t hide behind anything and I always answer according to what I feel. You already know my opinion», said Conceição, still avoiding the topic of ‘persecution of the referees’, raised by FC Porto itself after the coach’s expulsion in Mafra.
«Even after the game I played with my coach who loves these environments, the way of experiencing football here, exciting. I wasn’t today, but I definitely will be in other derbies and derbies in my career.”
As for the match, Sérgio Conceição was largely satisfied with the 4-1 victory against the chess team.
«Obviously we coaches, above all, are always looking for defects, but the team played a consistent game. The players are to be congratulated, they have had a fantastic evolution and we continue on our path. Round of 16 of the Champions League, round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup and now we start with the League Cup. In the league we have to correct what we haven’t done so well.”
