Regarding the game, we were very serious. We never let Portimonense reach our goal. There was a moment, in the first half, when we divided the game and we didn’t need to. In the second half we scored the second goal and everyone in the stadium relaxed a little. Until now we have been the best team because we have the most points. We may be the best attack, but we are still not the best defense. One small step left and let’s focus on that. Being champion is the biggest objective. There is only one team that has kept more clean sheets than us. It is necessary to set several objectives to keep everyone at maximum», concluded the Portuguese coach of the Lisbon team.
