Alvalade skipper praises his side's showing in Estádio da Luz

“Both sides showed intensity and quality, despite what people were saying in the build-up to the game”, said Adrien in a flash interview with radio journalists after his side’s 3-0 derby win.

For the Alvalade skipper, his side set the bar with Sunday’s performance, but the title is still a long way off: “The players set an example. A lot was said before the match, but the players were focused on doing their best. Fortunately we got the best result we could here tonight. It is still too early to be talking about the title, but it is always important to win a derby.”
