During the press conference prior to the game with Gil Vicente (Saturday, 8:30 p.m.), for the 5th round of the League, Sérgio Conceição was again questioned about the commitment of the players, an issue he raised after the draw in the classic with Sporting,

«It is not easy to get to a club like FC Porto and go straight in, maybe Ronaldo, Messi and half a dozen other players will join us. It is not the case. The players came from different realities, they do not know the country or the way they work at the club. It is normal to have this adaptation time. Instead, the urgency of victories enters, “he said, recalling some praise disguised as criticism.

I heard after the last game [derrota com o Manchester City, para a Liga dos Campeões] Which surprised us considering that I am a conversational trainer. What is that? Neither in the accounts nor in the money I am conservative. You have to realize that in the first rounds I played with the players who worked with me for the longest. It has nothing to do with being conservative or being more or less bold. FC Porto was even called a giant for the number of goals it scored. A coach who constantly plays to not lose is conservative, I always play to win. It’s completely different.

When asked how long it takes before new players complete this adaptation: “We have little time. I can’t want immediate results with players who are working for three days. On the other side is the pressure to win all three points. Between Sporting and City there was little time to work and little time to recover. Little by little, we transmit the message and the players listen and perceive. Until the next national team stop, we will have five games, one on top of the other. We will have little time.

Still on the tight schedule: “Time is running out. Only today did we have time to prepare the strategy for Gil Vicente. It’s awful. The players standing on the field with us to control the situations we want for the game. Millions of coaches like to be analyzing the games on the board, the videos are also a complement, but I like the dynamics, that the players enter the space. In painting everything is very easy, I like to work in the fields … with physical space ».
