Nuno Santos, one of Sporting’s reinforcements for the new season, has full confidence in the Lions’ qualification for the Europa League group stage. Before that, however, he will have to go to LASK Linz, this Thursday, in a duel scheduled for 8:00 p.m.
“We have to be patient, play our football, have fun. Thus, we will achieve victory. We play at home. We really wanted to have our fans, but by not having to make the trip, play in our stadium, we can only hope that the match ends with our victory and qualification for the group stage “, fired the young winger, adding:” The objective is to enter the group stage and tomorrow we will go in to win as we did in the two previous games.
Asked about the pressure that the players will feel for having to resolve the classification in a match, Nuno Santos did not hesitate …
“Pressure? No. We have to get used to it and what I want most is to play tomorrow and help the team. If it happens, I will give it my all, as I did when I joined Paços de Ferreira,” said the former Rio Ave player, to later congratulate to Ruben Amorim for his return to training: “It is always good to have the head coach with us. The others work well, but it is always better to have our leader on the field.”
Finally, he recalled the days of isolation after being infected with Covid-19. “It was not easy to have the virus. It was closed for 14 days, training me in isolation. But I am a focused player and I worked well, “he concluded.
