Luís Pinto, coach of V. Guimarães, speaking in the Sport TV flash interview after the victory [2-1] against Sporting, counting towards the “semi-finals” of the League Cup. Vitória played with courage "Yes. The way we always wanted to play the game with courage was something we had to achieve to have a positive result against an opponent with this quality and ability. From the first to the last minute we achieved this. In the second half, at least by feeling, we even managed higher up the field. We didn't have to run backwards as many times as the first time. So, yes, in addition to everything else in the organization, the Victorian soul was present and it is something that makes us happy.” There were changes from one game to the next «Yes, we had also tried 15 days ago. The way we did it was that it wasn't as aggressive and as courageous, at least in the first 20 minutes, as today. But the good signs we had given 15 days ago made us believe that we could have the result we had here. Today, fortunately, we were able to prove this.” First Vitória League Cup final «Yes, it's remarkable, it's good because it's the first time the club will be in the final. Now, obviously, being in the final we will want to win, because it is the next game we have and we still want to be able to add this new fact to the club's history. Not only because of that, but because of the feeling that I have been talking about this team and the quality that these players have for some time. Sometimes the belief they have in themselves is not yet as great as it could be. Today here, fortunately, this allowed us to achieve a very interesting, very good performance and a result that we wanted.” Coach’s “fingerless” victory «No, I feel like it was a victory for everyone who worked to prepare the game. From everyone who works to be in condition for whatever time it takes, whether it's to play at the start or to enter and be able to finish the game. So it was a victory for everyone, it has nothing to do with the coach’s hand.” Do you have a favorite opponent? «No, we are aware that it will always be a very challenging game. We are aware that it will always be a game that will demand different things from us than today's game. And that what we really want is to be present. Now that we are present, obviously we will want to prepare the game so that we can win the trophy in the end.”
