Return to victories: "It's an important victory, we returned to the normal register. We knew we would have a difficult game against a team that also created difficulties for other rivals of ours who fight for the same objectives as us. We were aware of what we had to do. Once again, the opponent's first shot on target results in a goal. Then we lost our balance, some lack of attention, but I think we always controlled the game. In the second half, the definition was missing. I see the team creating many situations in the last third and this year we have sinned for this lack of offensive effectiveness".

Impact of ineffectiveness: "I think it's a bit like that, it's one of the years in which we create more situations, we arrive with a very interesting presence in the last third and then we lack that. It was a competitive game, congratulations to the Casa Pia players. It was a deserved victory, we were the team with more possession, more shots and chances".

Squad injuries: "It wasn't easy, we had many players in doubt. Pepe played somewhat limited, Francisco left with his heel practically all in blood... It was a difficult preparation in that sense".

Is the clássico against Sporting crucial?: "No, we don't live off that type of game. We have to be consistent and not think that, because it's Sporting, Benfica or Sporting de Braga, that we need that affirmation. This year we achieved a categorical victory against Benfica and then we didn't give it continuity. This is a marathon, a test of continuity and consistency. That's what the big clubs live on, there are games that don't go so well and where we need to win like we won today. This year, here or there, we haven't been so good".
