"In these matches, you pay a heavy price for mistakes" and two mistakes in one minute led to a tie in matchday 31 of the championship (2-2). "We deserved the three points, one detail or another was missing", Zé Pedro stated, who also explained that the team always works "to win all games" and ensured that the objective is to "finish the championship with only victories". When asked to comment about Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, the central defender said that the most titled leader in the world "is heard without speaking".

The results in his biography speak for themselves", he added.

Mistakes cost two points
“Sporting only improved for two minutes when we made one mistake or another, and those pay a heavy price in these games. We controlled the game, we had situations to make in 2-0, but, in this type of games, mistakes are unforgiving and you feel it. We deserved the three points, we missed in one detail or two.”

Plan failed due details
“We had a well-studied plan, we worked hard during the week to win. At FC Porto, we always work to win every game and this one was no exception. We missed a thing or two to come out perfectly. We have the championship to finish in third place because we can't finish in any another position, and we want to finish with only victories. [Gyokeres] was fortunate enough to score two goals in two opportunities, they have none left. We failed in a few things and they scored. In the first part, we were unable to increase the lead and be more comfortable. We have to keep working because, if we keep playing like this, more wins will come and we will be happier.”
