“I can’t guarantee that I will continue”: Amorim maintains taboo on continuing in “Alvalad” next season

Coach Leo reiterated that he is “very happy” at Sporting, and when asked about the possibility of one of the interested clubs (Liverpool or Barcelona) paying the release clause, he recalled: “I owe the club a lot and everything that happened to him.” if it happens, it will happen, but it will never involve pressure on him to leave.”

As for the game against Benfica, in which the Lions are defending a one-point lead with the game still to be played, Amorim has no doubt about the recipe for success: “I don’t think there will be any surprises. The team that is more organized, more aggressive, and more concentrated will have an advantage in the game. We know what we need to improve, we used a lot of images from the last game. We prepared very well for this derby.”

Despite the fact that this is a game without favorites, Amorim is only thinking about winning: “I didn’t sign a draw before the game. We must win”.

Without classifying the match as a title decider, the Lions coach stresses: “It’s always important to win now to have a four-point lead and one game to spare.”

Amorim distanced himself from criticism of the refereeing by Benfica president Rui Costa at the end of the cup match (2-2) in Luz: “As for the refereeing, I will not comment on anything. There is no way around this: the game is very important, but not decisive.”

“Keeping Di Maria would be great”
“Di Maria is still affected by the situation in his hometown. You will have to make a decision. He’s still in fantastic shape, which is very important. It would be great to save. I don’t know if it’s possible,” Schmidt said of the possibility of Benfica keeping the Argentine after June.

“Gjokeres can always do better”
“Victor Giokeres is doing his job. When you’re not scoring goals… you have to watch the game. He got the job done in the Portuguese Cup, but he can always do better. He played well against Benfica, he could have played even better in this match,” said Ruben Amorim about the goalscorer.

AND
INTEGRATED CALL
“Pedro Goncalves [Pote] He has been called up and is another option for this game against Benfica. Will you be the starter? Tomorrow [este sábado] In the summer,” said yesterday Ruben Amorim, who will now be able to count on the Leo striker after he missed the last three games due to a right thigh muscle injury sustained in the match against Atalanta.

Adan is already training
“Adan is the only one who was injured, but he has already entered the field. This is good news,” Amorim said yesterday about the Spanish goalkeeper’s recovery.
