Luis Fellipe has no doubts: the relationship that Ruben Amorim built with the players became the basis for winning the title.
“Ruben knows what the players are thinking and feeling. It was Sporting’s greatest weapon – he spoke like someone who knows what’s going on there. On the tactical issue, there was not much difference, it was rather the mentality, he got into his head and convinced us that we can. Everyone understood that the coach was right and what we had to do. In a team, when everyone understands the coach’s ideas and trusts him, they bring it to life. This is a very big step towards success. This is what happened, “the striker said in an interview with Rádio Gaúcha, in which he admitted that the lack of fans somehow eased the pressure of the young people and showed himself ready to fight:” I am going to resume my career and continue. “I have the time, desire and ambition to be better than I was before.”
The player also revealed why he chose Sporting when he received an offer from Benfica in December 2018. “I was going to win more at Benfica, but that was a problem. When I arrived, there was an idol, Bas Ven. But it was him, there was no other. I thought I would get there slowly. This was the biggest reason. The challenge and the desire to win, not just another one, ”said the striker, who finished the season with Team B and is not included in the 2020/2021 accounts.
