In the preview conference for this Sunday’s game, in Moreira de Cónegos, against Moreirense, Sérgio Conceição addressed Pepe’s punishment, suspended preventively while the disciplinary process is underway following the incidents in the classic, and guaranteed that Rúben Semedo, on loan from Olympiakos ( Greece) until the end of the season, will not replace the Portuguese international in the defense axis.
And explained why.
« Will play tomorrow [domingo] for the B team. I want him to have minutes, so when he is called to be at the best level», he highlighted.
“There is no one in charge here. Behind the jersey is only the player’s name and nothing else. We have Pepe and Marchesín suspended, but we have other players to fill. Our captain is always important, even for the weight he has in the locker room, that’s why he follows our journey with us. As he always insists on doing even if he can’t play », he added.
