Rúben Amorim, Sporting's coach, in statements to Sport TV, right after the victory against Benfica (2-1), in a match of the 28th round of the I League. 

Analysis: "In a phase where everything counts, a direct confrontation where we can gain advantage, for all that it means. In terms of direct confrontation, we drew and then it will be the goal difference. That is important. Everything counts. It was a very complicated match with players with a lot of talent. We started very well. It was impossible to start better. We scored a goal, but I found the team anxious. Morita with some ball losses, when we had space to play. But we were always competent and didn't let Benfica create much. Then that before the break complicated the accounts a little bit. In the second half it was a divided match. I think we had a little bit more opportunity and then Geny's goal. Everything went well. Now it's moving forward." 

Goal right at the start: "I say again that we were anxious with the ball and Benfica has a lot of quality and made many exits with three. Neres had no fixed position, Di María neither... We defended well, but we didn't have so much ball. In the second half we improved. A divided match that in certain phases could have fallen to either side. It fell to us and that's good." 

Five changes in the eleven: "For everything, for the management of the players and because of that [of the Cup match]. The fit would be better. We did a management as we have been doing. Everyone is prepared to play and we proved that once again." 

Geny decisive: "For everyone... It's not the first time that a Sporting player cries. If we notice, they are players who had a bad time. Geny last season hardly played with many injuries and this year he is growing and scored two goals in a very important match. Just like Quaresma, who had a bad time in Tondela and in Germany. They want this very much and it's a relief when things go well." 

There are possibilities that Sporting will not be champion: "Of course there are. I have already talked to the players about that. Four points ahead is a bad day and you are left with one point. We have a lot to do and tomorrow we will be working at the academy, as we always do." 

He stays at Sporting if he wins the title: "I'm not going to talk about my future anymore. I always want to answer the questions, so as not to run away from the topics, but I have nothing more to say. Instead of always saying the same thing, I'm going to move on."
