João Henriques on rumours linking Pedro Lima with Sporting | OneFootball

AVS SAD coach João Henriques spoke about the current situation of Pedro Lima, a midfielder who has been linked with Sporting, highlighting the player’s growth and his ability to make the step up to higher levels. The coach also said he was pleased with the squad’s increased value after the 3-1 win over Porto.

“He is one of the players in this group who has the ‘pedigree’ to take on a challenge of that level. We do not know the details behind that rumour, but I would be tremendously happy if it were true. Besides being a good player, he could establish himself at that level. He is an extraordinary kid, he recognises the importance of the group and he works very hard.”

The coach also stressed that the performances of the player and the team in general could attract even more attention: “Once he has the numbers, he will spark the interest of many people, as has been happening. Today there were several players who showed that. We believe many of them will be highly sought after. The centre-backs were outstanding, the forwards understood what we wanted... I could stay here talking about the whole team, but we feel that several players are going to be in demand.”

Taking a broader view of the work that has been done, João Henriques also left the door open for the future. “We talk about the titles Porto have won, but there are so many other less high-profile titles. It is not just about results, there is also the matter of developing several of the club’s assets, which could bring in a good financial return. We have been doing our job and several names are now emerging from your side. Several good things are going to happen for the club, and this is one of our banners,” he said.
