Florentino Luís was the man of the match and already played the aftermath of Sporting x Benfica, the eternal classic. Eagles won the League Cup.
Florentino Luís analyzed the meeting between Sporting and Benfica. League Cup was won by Benfica in a penalty shootout, after a 1-1 draw in regular time. The Portuguese midfielder was the man of the match and said the following:
— It’s my first League Cup and I’m very happy. It was a very good game. Of course, winning the man of the match award is an individual award, but that’s only thanks to the team’s help. We were compact from start to finish, even if we didn’t dominate the whole game. In the parts where we dominated, we were very compact, we knew what we had to do and I believe that was crucial to the victory».
Florentino Luís was asked if it was important to give an answer after the two defeats in the Primeira Liga, precisely with Sporting and Braga:
«We look at our defeats as learning moments. There were things we didn’t do very well, I believe we have grown and now look forward. We now have the opportunity to play against the opponents we lost. It wasn’t a rematch, but rather a demonstration of our work and the personality that our team has to face the most difficult moments».
Florentino Luís said he was at the club of his heart:
«It’s a very good moment, especially being at Benfica at the club I love. There is no better place to be. The objective is to continue and be constant in the work».
«Impact of winning the League Cup? Our club lives on titles, let’s look game by game and that’s the only way we can achieve more things. We are very grateful, this was a boost and we will keep our feet firmly on the ground because there is still a lot ahead of us».
