“Draw means defeat, we could have scored two more goals thanks to Pota and Paulinho,” Ruben Amorim said this Sunday, analyzing the 2-2 derby that ended in a draw. The Sporting coach admitted the unevenness of his team in the game and throughout the season. “We weren’t able to keep up the pace in the second half and that caused mistrust between the players. We started defending lower and conceded two goals from crosses into the penalty area. And the moment of the team and immaturity cause distrust among the players,” the coach explained. Aware of the importance for the fans not to lose a derby that would allow the opposition to celebrate winning the title in Alvalada, Amorim was peremptory: “If our fans have felt such pressure during the week, imagine the pressure that a team that is very young, the technical team and the structure of the club felt . We played well, we just didn’t have the maturity to control the game and take advantage of the two goals we had.”
