Luís Pinto, coach of Vitória de Guimarães, spoke to Sport TV flash after the home defeat to Sporting (4-1). «It is not possible to escape individual mistakes, but whoever is on the field makes mistakes, they are part of it. We were disappointed because the first 15 minutes were very difficult. Sporting presented a different dynamic and we had difficulty adjusting. Even though we are a young and quality team, the players have to believe in who they are. Sporting were very strong until the 20th minute, when we started to enter the game, reaching the attacking midfield.” «In a completely controlled move, in which we could have been more aggressive, it was 1-0, when the rhythm was already different. We had the opportunity to equalize, but afterwards we conceded 2-0. In the second half, when we were on top, we conceded 3-1. We made a mistake in defense when the ball was set.” «We understand what needs to be done to get the three points in the next game. We learned lessons for the rest of the season, not just for the game against Sporting in the League Cup. The start of the game was also difficult due to the excessive “respect” we had for Sporting, we were not being as aggressive as we should have been.”
