— I was actually commenting on the bench with Paquetá that, under Filipe Luís, I played a bit wider and it was more of a one-on-one game. Because of that, it ended up being that — not that it harmed me — but sometimes there were matches where many Brazilian teams use this man-marking system," he said, before concluding: — Sometimes it’s hard to get past so many players. With Leonardo Jardim, though, I’m able to have the mobility to play more centrally and receive the ball. He gives me more freedom. That’s the style of play I identify with the most. I felt really good for a period under Filipe Luís, and now I’m also feeling good," Samuel Lino concluded in an interview in the mixed zone.

Samuel Lino has managed to maintain a strong run under Leonardo Jardim. Whereas before the forward alternated between the starting lineup and the bench, he is now one of the pillars of Leonardo Jardim’s attacking system.
