Luís Martins pleased with his side's return to form and push up the Ledman LigaPro table
Luís Martins was understandably satisfied at the final whistle on Saturday afternoon, after inspiring Sporting CP B to another Ledman LigaPro win and the respective escape from the relegation zone.
"I am happy with the performance and it was important to get the result, but it is also good for the lads. They were going through a hard time. We can't relax too much now of course, because there is still a lot of football to play, but we have won three on the bounce now and how we are playing brings confidence. We aren't out of the woods just yet, but we are close and I am sure we will get there", said Martins at the final whistle, adding his analysis of the action: "I can't imagine how anyone who saw this game doesn't think it was a fair result. We dominated from start to finish and controlled Viseu, who were playing on the counter-attack. They couldn't hurt us, because we were strong in defence and going forward."
To finish, the Sporting CP B coach affirmed the importance of an injection of confidence brought about by three consecutive wins: "I feel it and the players do as well, which is most important. The lads deserved a third straight win and it contributes to getting us out of the situation we were in that little bit quicker. Every team in this league wants results and we are no exception to that."
