“It is a young club with 12 years of existence. This is a feat that will last in history. Vitória is a great player in Portuguese football, has a very strong squad, very well oriented and we, through our humility and hard work, have achieved in many balance the game, I never had any doubts, but today these guys have demonstrated the character and dignity they have in the way they defend this club, it is a historic day for this club, for the players, for me and a feat that will endure. We are a club without a home, without a stadium, without a headquarters, without a bus, without a van. All we have is a lot of affection, a lot of will, a great friendship between everyone. . Interestingly, Rui Santos also hopes that once and for all they will stop confusing Sintra Football with … Sintrense. “They always confuse us! They always confuse, everyone asks. This victory, if it is worth at least not to confuse Sintra with Sintrense, which I respect a lot, was worth it. Maybe from today on, Club Sintra will be on the football map of Portugal. “, he highlighted.
Asked if he remembered Fernando Santos during the game, the coach ended up revealing that he has a friendly relationship with Rui Vitória, with whom he even spoke before the meeting.
“We exchanged some information! I am privileged to continue to have a good relationship with Fernando Santos. He is on a much higher level and has other responsibilities, but I always have a special affection on his part. It is something that I like very much. I can also confess that I have the privilege of being a great friend of the artist Rui Vitória. Yesterday we exchanged some messages. I never remembered him! I was so focused “, he joked.
