At the conclusion of an open training session in the sports complex of the Academy, which brought the energy and passion of the fans to the team, reviving the old Vitoria tradition, Peppa spoke to reporters and did not silence the revolution about the punishment that resulted. Ejected against Sporting.

“I spoke at the end of the game, but now, in a much colder climate, I can say I was desolate and angry. Having a professional taken out of his place of work, what he likes to do more, gets fired for what I did. We can appeal and we can show that voice. I can say that I Angry at what happened”, the Guimarães coach admitted, continuing his non-compliance, away from the bench in the derby with Moreirense.

«The game was very good, only to move 10 or 15 meters in protest of a foul I was ejected … please! I love being with the team, helping the team. I felt very wronged. I was wronged on the field, but I hoped that when the punishment came, people would realize the situation. But I still got a punishment game. I can’t understand this. He warned that the punishment is a gross injustice and I hope it will be corrected,” rejecting the reputation of the case.

“I don’t agree. My little girl asked me why I was fired. I didn’t even have any answers to give him. Those who decide and make decisions should understand the context better. I know who I am, I’m an educated person and I don’t accept being a troublemaker, a scapegoat.” Or an example of anything. I didn’t use profanity or offend anyone. It costs a lot, in this game it costs a lot to not be able to help. There was nothing that could be done off the bench,” said Pepa, who also addressed the match with Morerency.

“We are focusing on our work, in the remaining seven finals, without being obsessed with fifth. We know the quality of Moreirans and we know that a square meter is very expensive at this time, as all teams need points to achieve their goals. We were eliminated from the cup in Moreira de Conejos, And there are many points that must be settled in a healthy way, without revenge. We have to be serious and efficient, and play with high quality.”

The session concluded with the players thanking the fans who cheered in turn. Note the fact that Turkish fans have called Ricardo Quaresma, who is in Portugal to escort their country’s team, which will play tonight in Estádio do Dragão, their “supplement” match to reach the World Cup.
