Sporting coach Ruben Amorim said this Friday that the title celebrations are “already over” and suggested that he intends to break several of the club’s Football League I records, in particular for the number of wins and points in a season.
At the press conference ahead of the meeting with Estoril Praia on Saturday, the coach also recalled that the Lions still have other titles to win this season and will therefore use the next matches to keep the momentum high ahead of the championship final . Portuguese Cup.
“I think the record [do Sporting] there are 27 wins, we can get 28, we can beat the best result and above all if we want to win the next title [Taça de Portugal], we need everything with rhythm. Much more can be achieved [a festa do título] It was a special day, but it is over,” said Amorim from the Lions Academy in Alcochete.
When asked whether achieving 100 league goals is one of the goals of a team that has “won” 92 times in 32 rounds played, the coach admitted that “it is very difficult,” but did not rule out this record. further.
“Every possible goal we tell the players to see if we can do more and better. Now the number of victories, the number of points is important, because this is wonderful in a club like Sporting. And above all, this is very important. Get ready for the next trophy and the next season,” he said.
The Lions will visit Estoril Praia with the title already assured and will use a third goalkeeper this season as Adan is “still injured” and Franco Israel “has had surgery and is out for the rest of the season” so young Diogo Pinto, just 19 years old , “makes his debut for the main team of Sporting.”
“It’s a big workload, but the context will help because we have already been champions and I’m sure all the players in the team will help the team as much as possible.” [Diogo] Pinto and everyone knows that he is ready to help us keep the goal dry,” the coach assured.
Sporting will visit Estoril Praia on Saturday in the match of the 33rd round of the I Football League, which is scheduled to start at 18:00 at the António Coimbra da Mota stadium in Estoril, under the refereeing of João Gonçalves (Porto).
