Sérgio Conceição!
Before the match, in a press conference, Sérgio Conceição spoke about the match and the team's focus: "There's
no need to stick to the schedule, not least because of the support of
the FC Porto fans and supporters. From what we've seen, if we don't have
a full house, it'll be close. We're out of the competition, but it's
not going to be a game about giving minutes just for the sake of giving
them. I give minutes to those who deserve them, to those who work hard
and earn a living. So I'll give them the minutes I think I should,
within the defined strategy. We're as serious as we can be and Leixões
was seen as every other opponent, so we have to go in with the spirit of
winning the game. Everyone knows how important Pepe is, both on and off
the pitch. The punishment has to do with what's written in the
referee's report and, from there, there's nothing we can do. Now I have
to find solutions to make up for this defeat, which is important for us.
Throughout the season, some players haven't been able to play
physically or for other reasons, and we have to find solutions. But this
year has been difficult, it's true. The media knows things very
quickly, but they often don't know the whole truth. It's a fact that, on
a disciplinary level, the athlete behaved badly. In sporting terms, I
think he has to compete, because at the moment he is behind his
teammates in emotional and technical-tactical terms, but he could also
be behind those in the B team. He'll have more chances to compete,
depending on his application, his determination and also on what António
Folha defines. At the moment, he's a player who is below what we want
and who has to show that he can be an option. I'm here to defend FC
Porto and there are situations I won't accept. The four pillars defended
by our president are essential and must always be present."
