In the press conference previewing the match against Moreirense, the Benfica coach spoke about the squad, admitting that the situation is complicated and that the Eagles need to pick up points, but at the same time they depend on Sporting’s results.

"I didn’t promise anything, nor can I promise or guarantee that Sporting will get 15 points, 13, or fewer", the Benfica coach began, when asked about Benfica’s chances of finishing second in the league, a position that grants access to the Champions League playoffs.

"If we had won, right now we would be four wins away from finishing second, and right now we are not", said the Benfica coach, pointing to the possibility that the red-and-whites could be in a better position.
