Coaches in direct speech
Reuben Amorim
Champions League chip change and derby for Boavista: “More than that chip, because the team is already used to it, it has more to do not with the way of playing, but with what the game will be like. In light we have a lot of space to play, in Ajax too, we didn’t know how to use two situations. for three. This game is going to be different, it’s going to be positional attack and the players are going to have to realize that. We have to press even higher, we can’t let the ball run, we can’t be rushed. We’re going to have to change because we have two games completely Even though it’s a game in which I’ve already won, it was a defeat and that’s felt. The stadium is usually full because we won and the way we face the games. We came from a defeat and we’re in a big hurry to win. “
Can Daniel Bragança be an option holder? “It might be an option, it doesn’t mean I’m going to play, but Matheus [Nunes] it also improved a lot in this function. He’s a player who stretches the game but watches very well, is much less hasty when he delivers the ball, can play long, is already prepared for this type of game. There are two options that you can play, Dani can also play defensively “.
Eleven: “As happened in the Luz game, the fact that in one position or another there is no idea that the player would occupy that place can create doubts in the opponent and that’s what we want. We can play with a false nine, we can play there with the Tiago Tomás, we can put Pote in the middle, Tabata in the middle, Nuno Santos in the wing, so it depends. We looked a lot at the characteristics of the opponent, which center plays on the right, which center plays in the middle. see if it works, but I already have eleven for tomorrow and the players know it too and we’re ready. “
Petit
Know how to suffer: “This week we have already worked physically, technically and tactically on our idea so that we can become stronger. We know that we will have to suffer, because Sporting is at a fantastic moment, but we have to go with courage and do what we were. working to be able to play the game”.
React to high blood pressure: “We know that Sporting pressures very high, but often we will have to leave the individual duels. The teams fit into each other and then it makes a difference to have the courage to define and prepare necessary for counterattack or even attack positional, as there are spaces we can explore. That’s what we worked on to be able to play a good game and grow more as a team in the offensive and defensive processes.”
Achieve good results: “It’s a team with quality, but we also have to look at our growth. We’ve been working here for 10 days and trying to make the best of each player individually so that the team is stronger. Athletes are accepting what work we’ve been doing. Now there’s not much time in football, but results.”
