Tomorrow is a highly anticipated day: “Of course tomorrow, after 5:30 p.m., will be a special day, but what will make it truly special is if it already is from 3:30 p.m. onward. Last week’s result was disappointing and the performance was not great — it was enough to win, but the small details make the difference. Tomorrow, that is what we have to think about and focus on: trying everything possible to have a great day, from morning until night.”
Cláudio Ramos played in Aves. Will he keep his place or will Diogo Costa return? Will João Costa have the chance to become champion? “We have our plan for the team as a whole, as always, but the priority tomorrow is to end the season with a top-level performance and the best result possible. The substitutions and the starting lineup are part of something internal — you will see tomorrow.”
Keeping loan players or those whose contracts are ending are your decisions. Have you already decided on any of Moffi, Fofana, Thiago Silva and Luuk de Jong? And is de Jong dealing with a delicate family issue? “On that, I will not get into personal matters, but I think there is a misunderstanding about Luuk’s family situation. That is all I can say, but the seriousness that has been described does not correspond to reality, to reassure everyone who cares about Luuk. As for those names, all evaluations will be completed from Monday onward. When everything is over and we have had time to digest a long season, we will move on to the final decisions, although in recent days we have already had individual conversations with many of them, to receive the final information I need to reach my conclusion, which will be shared with the club and, from there, we will make the best decision for the future of the club and of their careers.”
