Sporting played very well in the first half, and in duels they put a lot of pressure. We had a lot of problems,” said Roger Schmidt, who still praised his team a lot after the break: “A huge respect for my players who managed to completely change in the second half. The second goal was very important for us. We deserve to leave here with a point.”
The German coach does not believe that the team came out relaxed: “We do not play alone, the teams want the same. We have to admit that we didn’t manage to show a good level in the first half. We must accept it. We kept calm after the first half. We talked and changed a few things during the break. The substitutions have completely changed the game,” said Schmidt, who has already started the last league game next week against Santa Clara in Luz.
“We want to give the championship to the fans. Now we have another game. I think being champion at home can be fantastic.”
