My team managed to completely change the attitude and tactics .” team was concentrated until the last second, it was important to get the two goals and the point. It was a very tough match. One more to go and we have to do it [ganhar] next week.”
“I know what football is like, we don’t play alone. It’s 11 against 11, and in a game against a very good team like Sporting, when we are not at our best and they are motivated to reach the Champions League anyway. ” … sometimes the rhythm is not there. We wanted to change some things and try to get back in the game. That’s what we did.”

(About the derby and the possibility of becoming champion) “I know what the fans want and we want to give them the title. We did everything we could to do it today. If it wasn’t possible, then accept it. A point is a point. To be champions at home, I think. ” , can also be very fantastic.”
