Despite the 2-1 defeat against V. Guimarães, Rui Borges says that Sporting “didn't lack attitude”. The coach is already looking at other competitions. Open competitions «We will try to fight for everything we are still in, which is the Portuguese Cup and the Championship, regardless of the points that lead us to the opponent [FC Porto]. Because at this time, last year, maybe we were eight points behind second and, as the games went on, we moved into second, one point behind first. In football there is still a long way to go, a lot of games left, a lot of points to be played. Our goal is to try to make a second round better than the first, especially because whoever goes first is having an unusual championship.” Merit of V. Guimarães or demerit of Sporting «No, it’s the opponent’s credit for believing. Sometimes, in some details, we missed a lot of rebounds, a lot of second balls, and that's why I said that the energy isn't there at 100 percent. This is notorious in collective terms, it's part of the opponent's belief and us, here or there, not being as competent in some moves. Now, no distrust. It’s more the sadness of not playing in the final.” Team attitude «No, there is no lack of attitude in the team. There was a good attitude and we could have made it 2-0. We didn't do it here, at Gil we could have made it 2-0 and we didn't. We have to understand how we can better control the game in the final part, even given this accumulation of fatigue, perhaps collective, which is normal.”
