Benfica coach after triumph against Tirsen and consequently determined for the Portuguese Cup final
After a new triumph (4-0) against Tirsen, Bruno Lage acknowledged that his team was not particularly inspired by the first part, but that it rose the exhibition level in the second and that the result does not offer discussion. Speaking to Sport TV, the incarnated coach 'stuck' the question about the meeting with Sporting in the Portuguese Cup final and focused attention in Sunday's game against AVS.
Analysis
“Attempt to correct positions. Valuing our route, we scored above 20 goals. We came with merit to Jamor. About the game, it is true that the 5-0 result was comfortable. We had never played at the beginning with the two spear tips, we sought a different dynamic. A first part with the intended dynamic. Very good route. We marked four, it's a fair result.
Made 9 changes, but kept Florentino and António Silva. Why?
“There are many changes. We wanted senior people on the pitch. António is captain. We have several changes, but it is not a very different team that played with Santa Clara. It was important to have people who know our posting. We started with 5 players of formation, we had the opportunity to debut Veloso, the other Felix, and also give André, who played in B. also deserved to play.”
Jamor
“It means a lot. It was a personal goal. The goal of the club is much greater. Within a month we have to prepare it to win. Now what we have to do is within 4 days to prepare the game with AVS in the best way.”
End with Sporting. What do you expect?
“I hope is to prepare the game with AVS”
