Rúben Amorim clarifies the use of Fatawu and gives Benfica and FC Porto as examples (Sporting)

Rúben Amorim, coach of Sporting, was asked about the use of Fatawu, who came on at 89′ in the match against Arsenal and takes the young Ghanaian international out of the UEFA Youth League. The coach gave Benfica and FC Porto as examples.

′′ In my head, I had to put a player. It was very clear, it was Fatawu who was going to play, I didn’t think so. He knew the rule, obviously. In my mind, the formation is not there to win the Youth League. You have an obligation to fight for the Youth League, but the idea of ​​the formation is to put players in the A team. Can’t you play in the Youth League? We have other players. Training is to train players for the first team. Which Portuguese clubs won the Youth League? Benfica and FC Porto. How many players did they take from there? This is the great objective of the clubs. Inácio is the player he is and never played in the Youth League. It’s my thought », he pointed out.

The green and white coach also admitted that he is already preparing for next season.

“In my head it is very obvious what we have to do. We have to win games and grow the team before the next season starts. We cannot look only to tomorrow. Sporting in 40 years has won three titles [de campeão nacional]if in six we win two…”, he commented.
