“For the game, yes, for the tea maybe, for the book no. Above all, a game that leaves me very satisfied, with the team completely connected from beginning to end, with a lot of dynamism, a lot of quality in the offensive process, in the defensive process which was very important to prevent the opponent from growing. That’s what we did throughout the entire game, all the time, always very connected, always wanting to play. We didn’t stop the ball for very long, we were always passing it and that’s very important for our team, for the dynamics themselves. The ball can’t stop for too long, the team was connected from beginning to end. We scored four goals with great merit, we could have scored more. In the defensive process we didn’t let them create chances, apart from one or two transitions, but very well in what it was to nullify them. Happy with the entire collective response.” “It’s a good performance, consistent and high-quality throughout the 90 minutes. It’s difficult for me to call it the best, very honestly, because I think we’ve had a fantastic start to the season on all levels. You can see that we are growing more and more in terms of consistency in our game process, even more so in the defensive process at times. They are getting to know each other better and the dynamic between them is also getting better and better. We won’t always play well, that’s for sure, but it was a good performance, with quality and consistency.”
“When we went into that game we were convinced that we were going to win, knowing that the opponent was difficult. It didn’t start well for us because we conceded first and then, in the second half, I felt Sporting were very close to equalizing, until a decisive action for the game occurred, which was the sending off, I would say stupid, of Pedro Barbosa. He put his head against Jorge Coroado and he showed him the second yellow card.”
Sporting’s likely lineup should consist of: Rui Silva, Gonçalo Inacio, Eduardo Quaresma, Maximiliano Araújo, Iván Fresneda, Francisco Trincão, Hidemasa Morita, Morten Hjulmand, Luis Suárez, Geovany Quenda, Geny Catamo.
Benfica’s likely lineup should consist of: Anatoliy Trubin, Nicolás Otamendi, António Silva, Samuel Dahl, Amar Dedic, Leandro Barreiro, Enzo Barrenechea, Fredrik Aursnes, Vangelis Pavlidis, Georgiy Sudakov, Rodrigo Rêgo.
