Relief after this victory?
“To be honest, I don't think we were better than against Atletico or at
PSV. Even worse. It is the whims of football to draw against the PSV (1-1), to lose against
Madrid (1-2) and win today. It was not an easy match. Until 0-2, it was open. It was intense and the adversity was there. We don't have the number of points we should have. I accept that there is room for improvement. It was important to score tonight because for a goal, you can be out of the Champions League. We have to go game by game, there is City
now, a very small team (irony). »
Why was it worse than against PSV and Atlético?
“I have to watch the match again but I can say that it was not better. We were not better in number of chances or actions. It's statistical. »
Is he getting closer to what he wants with this team?
“I think the third goal is a work of art, it shows how you can get rid of high pressure. I repeat, it is a work of art. »
Does the presence of Gonçalo Ramos change the way you play?
“No, he doesn't change our game. He's a finisher. It gives continuity and it’s another profile. »
Why does Nuno Mendes have more offensive freedom?
“For his physical and technical qualities. He is a player who has two profiles: he can play in defense or complete the offensive trio. Nuno brings a lot to the attack, whether in terms of assists or actions. He provides the team with alternative solutions depending on the state of the other players. We always seek to play on this and create the best possible synergies, those that recur most frequently. It is for this reason that Nuno
plays higher. When we see that other players are lighter, we have this possibility of interchanging them. And I think that's a good thing for us. »
Nuno Mendes' exit during the match
“It’s a blow, nothing serious. »
The entry into play of Désiré Doué
“For me, he was very strong in his last three matches. He improved the team's performance. This Tuesday, he helped the team defensively and offensively when he did not enter his position. We have great confidence in him. »
