Coach Rubén Amorim said this Saturday that he dreams of becoming national football champions at least once more within the next three years of his contract with Sporting CP and that this will be an evolution for the club.
“I have a contract with Sporting for another three years and in my head I imagine how to become a champion at least once again within these three years,” the coach said, when asked about the alleged interest of Tottenham during the preview in Alcochet. Meeting in the I league with Boavista.
The coach acknowledged that everyone is always “proud when one likes a job”, but recalled that Sporting are in fourth place in the championship and therefore “people cannot be satisfied”, in addition to the fact that the club’s record for titles was not coveted .
“Because Sporting, if we look at the last 40 years, they have 14 years between championships, more or less,” he said.
But this season, with Sporting 15 points behind first place, with 11 days left in the league, it remains “to win games to buy time and make the team grow before the start of the new season.”
“There is still a lot to be done, a lot can still happen. We know the importance of the Champions League, we can still fight for it, we have the Europa League and then we have all this time to grow,” said the green and white coach.
In this sense, Amorim reminded that “it is useless to be in good shape on Thursday” when he visits Arsenal for the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 “if Sporting do not win the next game” with Boavista. .
Especially because if he wins this game, he will add “eight more points in the second round” than what he had so far in the first half of the championship, and Ruben Amorim wants to use this to show the players, “ what he passed” in terms of the rating table.
“In the first round, we failed in exactly the same situation in which we had a European game, we beat Tottenham, we went to Bessa and at that time were five points behind Boavista. Obviously, I’m worried about this change. chip”, from the Europa League for the championship, the coach of the “white-greens” warned.
On Sunday, Sporting CP will host Boavista in the match of the 24th round of the First Football League, which will start at 20:30 at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon, with the referee João Pinheiro (AF Braga).
The meeting with the “chess players” takes place in the “middle” of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, in which Sporting drew 2-2 with Arsenal three days ago, before visiting the Londoners the following Thursday. second hand.
