Luís Guilherme praises two Sporting teammates: They’re top players | OneFootball

Sporting defeated AVS in extra time, 3-2, and is now in the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup, where they will face Porto over two legs. Luís Guilherme stood out by scoring his first goal for the Lions, but offered words of recognition to Geny Catamo and Francisco Trincão, even though they compete for the same position.

"It's part of it, it's always good to be with the best players and that also motivates us to improve more and more. They are great players, both Geny and Trincão, but also the whole team. I always try to learn in training to improve in the game", he said in statements to SportTV.

The "canarinho" forward did not hide his happiness when talking about his debut goal at Alvalade. "Very happy to have scored for the first time, after waiting so long. Thank God I was able to do it here at the stadium and I hope I can help in the best way possible," he said.

With the decisive league classic on the horizon, Luís Guilherme knows the importance of Monday's match. "Decisive like the others, of course it's a classic and there are four points difference. We know its importance and now it's about preparing well and, God willing, coming away with the win", he stated.

The green and white emblem will play the classic next Monday, February 9, against league leaders Porto. The match, part of the 21st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Francesco Farioli, will be played at Estádio do Dragão at 8:45 p.m.
