Fernando Sá: “It remains an extremely tough situation” | OneFootball

About the match: “I think we were very focused on what we had prepared. Essentially, on the limitations of the individual technical aspects of Sporting’s team. We forced the most influential players on their team to make decisions they are not so used to making. I believe that, in some way, their percentages dropped because of this and it gave us possession to make quick transitions. That helped us achieve the victory.”

Sign of recovery? “I can’t say it’s a comeback. My feelings are good, but I’ve felt this way several times throughout the season. The team has had good performances and situations that we’re not happy with. So, we’ll keep working every day and this is just one win, nothing more than that.”

Position in the standings: “In terms of the standings, it’s still an extremely difficult situation. We are two points behind Sporting, tied on points. We could have won by more than six points, which could eventually be just two losses. As it is, it might have to be three losses for Sporting. It’s an extremely complicated situation, but we’ll do our job and try to reach the end in a position that allows us to fight for the national title.”
