According to Sporting Portugal coach Ruben Amorim, who will face the London team on Tuesday (6:45 pm) in Lisbon on the second day of the Champions League, Tottenham are the frontrunners in Group D. “Tottenham are the favorites of the group. It’s a team that has one of the best attacks in the world with a winning coach in Italy and England and world-class playersRuben Amorim said during the pre-match press conference. “They are strong in transitions, they have a lot of quality in set-pieces, and we have to be careful that they will punish us for the slightest mistake.“, he added.
However, the Sporting Lions want to benefit after their opening success on the grass in Frankfurt (3-0), while Tottenham won their first meeting against Olympique de Marseille (2-0). “Of course the previous match increases our confidence. In the face of Spurs and his qualities, it is important to maintain our identity to try and win the game. We like to get the ball and that’s what we’re going to try to do. In any case, the responsibility will be with Tottenham, who will be the favoritesAmorim said. Due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Tottenham did not play the Premier League match scheduled against Manchester City this weekend. However, the Portuguese coach refuses to see an advantage for Antonio Conte’s men. “I don’t want to talk too much about it, it will give an excuse to my players. English teams often have less time to recover. Everyone wants to participate in this type of confrontation, so the players will be ready for this match, no problem.‘, confirmed by Robin Amorim.
