Luiz Filipe has no doubts: the relationship that Ruben Amorim established with the players was the basis for winning the title.

Robin knows what the players are thinking and feeling. This was Sporting’s greatest weapon, speaking like someone who knows what’s going on out there. On the tactical issue, there wasn’t much difference, it was about the mentality, and he’s getting inside his head and convincing us that we can. Everyone realized that the coach was right and that’s what we had to do. In a team, when everyone understands the coach’s ideas and trusts him, they make it happen. It is a very big step towards success. This is what happened, ”said the striker in an interview with Rádio Gaúcha, where he admitted that the absence of fans somehow relieved the pressure of the youth, and showed that he was ready to fight: “I will resume my career and continue, I have time for that, the desire and ambition to be better than I was before ».

The player also revealed why he chose Sporting when he had an offer from Benfica, in December 2018. “I would have won more at Benfica, but that was the challenge. When I arrived there was a bass dust, a fetish. But it was him, there was no other. I thought I would get there slowly. It was the biggest reason. A challenge and a desire to win, not just another ”, said the striker, who finished the season in the B team and does not enter the 2020/2021 accounts.
