Rui Borges calm before Sporting-AVS, one match changes nothing | OneFootball

Rui Borges spoke to journalists at a press conference previewing the Sporting - AVS match, this Thursday, February 5th. However, the classic against Porto on the 9th, decisive in the title race in the championship, was also discussed, but Rui Borges is not getting carried away.

"I had the opportunity to watch bits and pieces. It shows the difficulty, teams are increasingly giving their all because of the points. It will be tough for those who are lower down. The games are difficult. It will be more and more like this. No game will decide anything. We were 8 points behind and lost 9, and then we became champions", said the coach of the lions, when asked about the dragons' defeat against Casa Pia, and the importance it may have in the League.

The lions' coach warns that everything can change suddenly and until the end of the season there will be no easy games. "In football, everything changes very quickly. Teams are stronger, they know how to counter the power of the big teams. We will face more difficulties".

Rui Borges also spoke about goals in injury time: "Luck takes hard work. The fans should be happy, last season we scored 24 goals in the last 15 minutes, we still need 10 more to beat that. Confidence is high, the belief and faith are such that we end up being happy to score, but the happiness is the same at the start as in the last minute", he said, about the fact that the green and white club has been scoring goals in the last minutes.

It should be noted that before the Classic, Sporting will take the field tomorrow, February 5th, against AVS. The match, counting for the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by João Henriques, will be played at 8:45 PM, at the José Alvalade Stadium.
