Luís Pinto, coach of V. Guimarães, praised Alioune Ndoye's adaptation process to the club and explained the risky approach against Sporting this Tuesday, in the 2-1 victory. Passage to the final «It means a lot because of the size of the club, how special it is. I already said it, this is a unique club in Portugal for reasons we all know. It's from a city that really breathes Vitória. Being present in the final is good.” Any trophies you can win are welcome. Obviously a trophy in the second league is special, and it's obvious that if we win this trophy it will also be very good for us. The opponent will be very difficult, challenging.” Desempenho de Alioune Ndoye «Ndoye is in a process of adaptation, learning. He's better playing inside the box, he has fantastic genetic characteristics. He has a very strong aerial game and a very long stride. There are stages in the game where you still can't fit in. It's all part of the adaptation. He's an excellent person. And when someone arrives at Vitória and manages to build their path step by step, it’s always good.” Tactical approach «When working without the ball, we added another man to the first pressure. We wanted to put the wingers high, be it Camara or Noah, and give more numbers for our first pressure to create more difficulty. Even when it was set back by Rui Silva, we went there to press. From an offensive point of view, we put more of our midfielders playing inside. When we had time with the ball, it had an effect.” High blood pressure «The risk that was taken was because we asked the team to be more courageous. And instead of asking with words, I demonstrated with actions. Pressing high has a lot to do with this. It gives me more pleasure as a coach. I'm a bit impatient on the bench, when I see them in a low block I get a bit upset. It was a message I wanted to pass on to the players, it's not just asking for courage. Even against a great opponent, we believed we would be happy. We managed to be very successful in winning balls, we could have been better in the transition moment. But I'm very happy with the way the team behaved.”
