Ricardo Barão: «I believe that Sporting will be champions this year!»

RICARDO BARÃO, PLAYERS OF FUTURE coach, is the image of confidence after leading Olivais and Moscavide to victory in the game against AD Oeiras in a match counting for the 25th round of the 1st Division of the Lisbon Football Association . With this triumph, the team led by the son of Francisco Barão, Sporting's glory, joined Estoril-Praia B in fifth place and displaced Atlético da Malveira. In addition to the moment of his Olivais and Moscavide, RICARDO BARÃO also spoke about Sporting's leadership, Gyokers and FC Porto's journey.



* How do you analyze the victory over AD Oeiras?

* It was a good game on our part, we started the game very well, we scored in the first minute, then we managed and controlled the game during the first half, and, despite having a few more chances, we weren't able to score again.

In the second half and after we made it 2-0, Oeiras managed to reduce it after a rebound and our inattention and then they believed they could discuss the result. They grew a little but in a transition we ended up making it 3-1 and practically ended the game.


* Do the two consecutive victories, over Povoense and AD Oeiras, serve as a tonic for the final stretch of the championship?

* Yes of course! Victories are always motivating whether they are followed or not, but don't forget that even though this championship is very competitive, these two victories were the last and the penultimate, so keep your feet firmly on the ground, keep working well and want to grow and evolve every week, as there is still a long way to go in the championship and we are just seven points away from the water line.


* As anticipated by the visit to Ponte Frielas…

* An extremely difficult game with one of the best oriented and organized teams in this championship. We want to get the three points! Ponte Frielas has presented itself in an identical structure to ours, so it will be a game of fittings and many duels where the team that makes fewer mistakes and that manages to be more effective will be happier.


* Do you believe that Sporting is the strongest candidate for the title?

* Sporting is the team closest to becoming champion. They have four points of advancement, which can be transformed into seven if they beat Famalicão. Nothing is resolved, because if they fail to win in Famalicao and then lose in Dragão, this advantage could be reduced to just one point and we will have the championship until the end. But I think that due to the football played throughout the championship, the performances and the maturity he has shown, he will really be this year's champion in Portugal.


* Is FC Porto disappointing?

* We have to say yes. Anyone who is used to a winning and dominating FC Porto, as FC Porto has been in recent years, has to say yes, that it is disappointing, especially in home games where it was almost always a 100% winning team, this year it has lost a lot of points. .


* What are the reasons?

* It is always subjective, as it can be for various reasons, such as the instability created around elections. In my opinion, of the top four classified, it is also the poorest squad with the fewest solutions, so it could be for several reasons or even none of those... in fact, all teams worldwide always have less good years, as has also happened this year. with Bayern Munchen and Naples to name just two examples, but also if we look at it another way and if they manage to win the Portuguese Cup and after the journey they have made in the Champions League they could even have a better season than Benfica or Sporting, as any of them could still end this season without winning any title.


* Who is the best player in the League?

* For many, and for me too, it is Viktor Gyokeres for everything he has demonstrated this year for being different from everyone else, he is the best scorer in the championship, the Sporting player with the most games, with the most minutes, he rarely leaves, the numbers are impressive him individually and the one who works for the team, so choosing a name would always be Viktor. Now, I love midfielders, I think they are one of the most important positions on any team and there are two that fit my bill and that I think are one of those players with the level to play for any team in the world. João Neves and Morten Hjulmand.


* What is the best dish in the world...

* Hahahah this is good, I love Roast Chicken!
