João de Deus on his side's win against Benfica B

The Sporting B coach was understandably pleased with his side's dominating showing against Benfica B this Sunday.

“It was above all else a great exhibition with a full crowd. People who have been watching us for a while have seen us go through a tough spell, but today we were brilliant. The only thing missing was more goals, because we could have scored three or four with the way we played. It is a real pleasure to manage these players", affirmed João de Deus at the final whistle, adding: "Our strategy was basically to force Benfica to play wide, because that is exactly where they do not feel comfortable. We played an almost perfect game, with the exception of the penalty that Stojkovic saved."
