João de Deus on his side's Ledman LigaPro matchday 31 draw

Speaking in a flash interview at the final whistle of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Freamunde, coach João de Deus praised his team for battling on, despite being a man down for the entire second-half.

“Sporting lost two points today. Eleven against eleven, we were the better side and we played with the most quality. We looked strong down the wings and we had a lot of chances. Kikas was sent off and we lost a man, but after we made some tactical changes I think we played as a team. Freamunde had possession, but they didn't really have any clear chances on goal. We let in a goal from an individual mistake, but we recovered. After we scored I think a different result would have been fairer, with the tactical intelligence that we showed", said the Sporting B coach at the final whistle.
