“It was a game that had a lot of impact. What we did was talk to the players, train and show the rankings. We haven’t won anything and we’re not doing very well in the championship. We have six points, but last year we had zero and we entered the ‘eighth’. You have to take this naturally. They know that they lose their place in the team if they get distracted. They are ready to return to earth”, said the ‘green and white’ coach.

In a press conference prior to the match, Rúben Amorim was aware of the importance of the match and Sporting’s position in the table, in addition to the power of Boavista and the atmosphere and intensity that is created at Bessa, although he assures that “always it is better to work on top of the victories” and that he wants to emerge victorious from the national team break.

“We have to be very humble and realize that we haven’t done anything yet. This should be normal, winning matches, either in Portugal or in Europe. We have the obligation to win and we will do the best we can, expecting a very difficult game”, highlighted Rúben Amorim.

The focus of the analysis on the ‘chess player’ team was the confrontation between the two teams last season, since the Boavista coach, Petit, remains and his idea of ​​the game too, with Amorim showing himself ready for the match. in Kiss.

“Football varies from day to day. If we don’t beat Boavista, everything goes back a bit to the other side. It is a daily struggle. The important thing is to think that we are always the same. I have the same flaws and the same virtues that I had three weeks ago,” warned Amorim.

Defenders Luís Neto and St. Justo remain in the clinical report, but recoveries will be quick, assured Rúben Amorim, who also has midfielder Daniel Bragança with a serious and prolonged injury and striker Jovane Cabral “later” in recovery.

Amorim considers that Sporting without players only enhances his work

The coach, Rúben Amorim, considered that the call for the Portuguese soccer team, which does not have any Sporting player, “only highlights the work of the coach”, who wins titles with athletes without that condition.

“We have won some titles, we have made the players grow and, even so, they are still not at the level of the national team. The only thing that stands out is the work of the Sporting coach, who achieves results with players who do not yet have national team status. I don’t feel pinched, I even feel flattered”, he said, at a press conference prior to the match with Boavista, on the seventh day of the I Soccer League, on Saturday, at Estádio do Bessa.

Rúben Amorim pointed out that, if he were the coach, “he would take them all”, since they are “perfect players and from the national team”, but he recalled the difficulty that the coach, Fernando Santos, must feel for having “many to choose between “” and with quality.
