On Saturday, Robin Amorim went to the press conference in anticipation of the Estoril match, referring to the 23rd round of the league scheduled for the sixth day, Sunday evening, in Alvalade, stressing that he expects a difficult match.

“Our aim is to win the game against a team that knows what they are doing, with well-crafted procedures. We are talking about a team with different solutions…Now, we are out of the Champions League, a competition we have not officially left yet, but we are already thinking of a comeback, and for that, we have to To win games. Our priority is the championship and we have to make that link,” the Leonen coach started.

Faced with the fact that Benfica, the opponents in the league table, lost two points, Ruben Amorim was clear in the goal of increasing the points distance: “We have an obligation to win and even know that we got two points from the opponent, this is very important. »

As for whether FC Porto’s six points are recoverable or not, the coach did not let his guard down: “As long as it is mathematically possible… We know it would have been better to win, and obviously losing would make things very difficult.” There are six points and Porto does not lose many points, but we have to define our points and always believe in them. There are always difficult matches, and as the tournament progresses, the games become more difficult. The championship is our goal, but the Champions League is also very important.”
