Analysis: It was more of the same. The first time the opponent manages to get to the goal, they score. We can't take away the opponent's merit, but in a throw-in, we have to approach the move differently. We were well-positioned; we were just not aggressive enough in the fight for the ball. The opponent ties the match when nothing would have led us to predict it. We prepared for the game like all the others; we were very rigorous. Álvaro talks a lot about the spaces to explore. Today, it was evident that we explored those spaces. We were always playing, in an initial construction phase, behind the wings and even the midfielders to accelerate towards the opponent's defense. There were moments between the center forwards where they had some difficulty, and we provoked that today. It was well-prepared; congratulations to the players, who interpreted it well. We could have scored one or two more goals. We had more opportunities; it could have ended differently, but for what Vitória SC did, it would be unfair. It's a totally fair result for this match. Congratulations to the players. It's a victory that doesn't give us anything. Here, we don't celebrate victories; we celebrate titles. We're happy enough. Now, we have to look at Casa Pia, finish the championship in the best way possible, and then we have the Cup final, which we really want.

Goal at the start reopened the match: In our life, we have to get used to having some negative situations that are not expected. We have to understand that, within our way of working, we can't be shaken by a misfortune. The players were very mature in that sense. We continued on top of our strategy, trying, in a lively way, to follow the atmosphere that came from the stands... It was a very good game from our fans and even from our rivals because they were always very good. We pulled that joy from the fans to get through this match. We only won one game to be in the final and fight for a title. We celebrate titles; we don't celebrate victories.

Galeno left demoralized: That's good. He's feeling the game; he felt that he could have done a little more. We're here in this fight; we're in the same boat; we feel many moments of unhappiness that happen in the game. It wasn't Galeno who missed the opportunities; it was the whole group. It's with this spirit that we have to continue to mitigate what was a not-so-well-achieved championship with the conquest of a title, which is the Portuguese Cup.

"Mr. Portuguese Cup": In six years, five finals and three Portuguese Cups. Right now, I still owe one to FC Porto because I lost it, and I wanted to win the four that I was present in.

Scores to settle with Sporting: No. It doesn't depend on the opponent; it depends on us. Obviously, we're going to study the opponent. Sporting is the finalist, with merit, because they also had difficult games.
