Once again, Sporting had several missed goal opportunities, and Ruben Amorim summed up the season for the Lions in this way.
′′ We have a very difficult end to the season, there is no hiding it. There are times like this, we have to prepare for the future. Although the results are not the best, there is a clear development of the players, especially in the ability to fight with the best. We know where we went wrong, in the details, in missing the opportunities we had. I can tape record and always answer the same thing. I don’t know how to explain how we scored five goals against SC Braga in one half and in the other matches we don’t score a goal in 90 ‘”, he said at the press conference analyzing the match against Juventus, refusing to place a burden on the strikers.
′′ We will do this assessment at the end of the season, but this is much more than a striker. Eseggio could have scored, Coates could have scored, many would have scored in title time, and now that doesn’t happen. I can’t say that if there had been another striker we would have won, I don’t know,” the coach stressed, going further and talking about the past.
“Ledson and Dearly, how many championships have they won? zero. Sulaimani? zero. Sporting once had some of the best strikers and didn’t win championships. I don’t have a short? Maybe so, but now to sum it all up… It’s a matter of doing the math. Thiago Thomas and Paulinho won a tournament against a team that spent 100 million. To sum it all up for the attacker is to put all the pressure on them,” said the coach.
