Sporting boss frustrated before key match: You can’t breathe here | OneFootball

João Gião lamented the little time he has to prepare games, but reminded that there are no lost games at Sporting. The coach of the green and white B team made statements to the official media of the Alvalade Club, ahead of another match for Liga 2, where the lions are leaders.

"We turned many games around at the end of last year which allowed us to rise, and this year it's already the second time. It has a lot to do with the mentality and the DNA we want to create here: there are no lost games and if we are losing, it has to be at the limits. This way, we are always closer to turning adverse moments around," João Gião began to explain, recalling the comeback against Feirense and the recovery against Juventus.

The Sporting B coach continued: "Here you can hardly breathe [laughs]. It is something that demands a lot from us and requires advance planning. We managed to prepare the game against Penafiel correctly, which will be, like all Liga 2 games, very difficult, especially away."

"They come very motivated by good results, in fact since the arrival of the new coach [the Spaniard José Manuel Aira] they have been on a very positive path in the last five games [three wins, one draw, and one loss]. They won 3-1 in Vizela, against a clear candidate for promotion, so Penafiel is highly motivated and has its weapons," João Gião added, analyzing Sporting B's next opponent.

Remember that the Sporting B team, currently the first in Liga 2, will play another national championship match next Saturday, November 8th, against Penafiel. The game is scheduled to kick off at 11:00 AM and will be played in Vizela, which will serve as a temporary home for the lions' rival.
