00:00I know that you came here to talk about it, and it's natural, but let's leave it for the end of the game, I'll talk about it at the end of the game.
00:16Now I want the team to focus on the game, because it is the most important, and I promise that at the end of the game I will talk about it and I think everything will be clearer.
00:28Now I want the team to focus on the game, because it is the most important, and I promise that at the end of the game I will talk about it and I think everything will be clearer.
00:39Barbara Simas Nunes for SIC.
00:44The relationship is still the same. Sporting is a two-time champion, everyone here is a two-time champion, and that hasn't changed since three months ago.
00:53I'm going to go deeper and answer questions that I'm going to answer at the end of the game. At the moment it is to take another step so that this goal happens, and therefore the focus at the moment is on the new star.
01:06Ruben, it won't be about the game either.
01:13I know you want to answer, at the end of the game everything will be clearer, I already said it at the other conference. At the moment the focus is on the star.
01:22In relation to doing everything differently, I wouldn't do it, because I didn't control the situation, so I couldn't have done anything different.
01:30In relation to going deeper into all these issues, at the end of the game we will have time for that.
01:35Ruben, good afternoon.
01:42Very good, very good, and tomorrow it will also be clarified. There is no war, much less rotten peace, because it is also not part of our team, neither mine nor the president's.
01:53This will be clarified at the end of the game, now the focus is on the game.
02:00The preparation was normal, I felt the players were different in the lecture, because I could have said no, that the atmosphere was very good, that no one was reading the news and that no one was anxious.
02:12I know that my players are anxious, there is no revolt, because I have a way for revolts, and there were revolts when I got here and all the problems.
02:21They know me very well, I know my players, and I am sincere with you when I say, and I treat you as journalists, that they were not normal.
02:31When I read the news, I realized that they were nervous, anxious, it will stay, we have a very complicated series of games, it will not stay.
02:39That's what I said, but there was clearly no revolt.
02:44I didn't even need an order to hold the colleagues, because I deal with my problems and they know me so well.
02:51I think I already proved that I defend them until the last minute, but there are things that I don't control.
02:58The preparation was done in a way, this time, more normal than the last game.
03:03We prepared tactically, physically, we divided the group to be specific in this physical recovery.
03:10We saw the videos we had to see, and we are ready to win the next game.
03:17These are things that we don't control, and they are clubs that are negotiating.
03:23There is no coach's decision to want to move everything away to create more stability.
03:29It's just like that.
03:41Mainly also mine, but I am what I am.
03:44It is not comparable to what happens to me, or what happens to other people, because I am what I am, my future.
03:50I know it's hard for everyone, at the end of the game we'll talk about it.
03:54It doesn't seem to me that President Federico Varandas has forced me to leave immediately.
04:03He is defending the club's rights, so I don't get involved in that aspect, I would never do it.
04:09Things have to happen as they have to happen.
04:11At the end of the game, I think you will be very clear.
04:14The fans may like it or not, but everything will be there.
04:20And you will see that there is no rotten peace.
04:22We are adults, and things sometimes happen.
04:26Focus now on Estrela.
04:28We really want to win the game.
04:30We really need to win the game in this phase.
04:33And at the end of the game, we will address this issue.
04:39After these last 72 hours, do you feel that your goal will be fulfilled?
04:42It will be fulfilled, without a doubt.
04:44It will be fulfilled if I leave.
04:55What will it be?
04:59The situation is very difficult.
05:01I don't say nervousness, but tiredness.
05:04Obviously, when I don't know what to say,
05:06and what can be said at the right time,
05:09it makes everything more difficult for me,
05:11because I have to be here.
05:12When I'm very direct with people, it's much easier for me.
05:15Whether it's good or bad.
05:16Uncertainty creates a lot of difficulty.
05:19And I have communication problems, like any coach.
05:23But I would say more tiredness,
05:25which makes me more nervous in this situation.
05:29It's very clear.
05:30The whole situation makes me very nervous.
05:36It's hard for me to focus on the game.
05:38But I'm doing my best.
05:40And the game will be over.
05:44So, I think it's obvious that it makes me more nervous.
05:48The fact that I don't know what to say,
05:51or I can't be so clear,
05:54creates a lot of difficulty for me.
05:57So, I think that's it.
06:01Nata, did you like what you saw?
06:03No, yesterday I saw the star.
06:05It's been a while since I saw the star.
06:07I don't know the result.
06:08But I saw the star.
06:11I also went through the city.
06:14Although there were some changes,
06:16and we couldn't make a big assessment
06:17for the next Champions League game.
06:21And yes, New Zealand is also there.
06:23And maybe if something happens,
06:27the biggest fear is that
06:29something happens at the end of the year.
06:31And being able to be one of the reasons
06:35for something to happen.
06:36Maybe that's the biggest fear,
06:37rather than failing in other situations.
