Luís Pinto, coach of V. Guimarães, speaking at the press conference after the 2-1 victory over Sp. Braga in the League Cup final: Analysis of the triumph in the League Cup final «It comes from what the season has been like since the beginning. Only with a very strong union could we be successful, that has been our DNA. Despite adversity, we never stopped believing that it was possible, we felt that there were moments when we were at the bottom of the game. In these moments we were almost always able to discern that it wasn't the end of the world and we had to come together, run hard and that was essential. A courageous project, which invests in young people, from the technical team to the players. In football you don't always win the same way, but when you don't win with young players you have to stick with each other.” Special flavor for beating Sp. Braga? «It has a great flavor, the flavor of respect for representing Vitória. It was more than a title, despite being the third trophy in the club's history, it was against the eternal rival. It had a very different weight. The taste is of happiness, of being special and we made people we didn't even know happy. It’s a feeling of duty accomplished.” Difficulties experienced against Sp. Braga «It's very difficult to play against Sp. Braga, it's a game of cat and mouse. Having the ball is in their DNA and there were moments when we looked at the defensive line and there was only one Braga player. We don't play alone, we have to give credit to the opponent. From a certain point onwards we wanted to jump at every ball and Sp. Braga only accelerated towards our defensive line. In the second half, Samu's entry gave us the opportunity to lower Gonçalo. From a defensive point of view, Gonçalo has a greater range of spaces. Samu has enormous intelligence and can play very well in the space between the lines.”
