Speaking to journalists, the Sporting midfielder outlines the goal of the lions for the current season.
One-off advantage of Sporting in the leadership of the I League: “Above all it must be said that we must be calm because we are still at the start. As we saw in the last championship, having a few points of advantage does not mean anything, in a game or two it changes everything. What we can promise is a lot of work “A lot of commitment, which is what we have had, but nothing more, because we are at an early stage. We want to honor the club, we have done it, but as I said we are still at a very early stage.”
Sporting came close to the title in 2015/16. Can you win it now? “They are completely different groups, in the other context it was a group with more experience, different realities, different coaches. Above all, we have the same sense of responsibility, but we don’t have that pressure because the group is very young, we know what happened in The seasons We work hard and think game by game, but they are different teams and I don’t think we can compare because they are different realities and we have to have this humility and this knowledge. I see a lot of quality in this group, I really want to do things well. There are three places for the Champions League, Sporting wants one of them and for that we are going to work ”.
About the selection: Disappointed? Of course not. Portugal is probably one of the fittest teams, one of the best in the world. It is never easy to be in a team like this, and above all, I want to continue working for, in March, with more minutes of play and more rhythm, to be able to compete for a position. Obviously I really want to go back, but I have to work hard for that ”.
Was it an eye on the national team that you wanted to return to Sporting? “Obviously, yes. For me, the national team is always a group that I know well, it’s a group I really enjoy being with. Obviously I knew that being at Sporting, playing here, with a very positive year, I would always be closer” And it was also a reason for my choice, to go home, it was also for that ”.
