Jorge Jesus in his final press conference of the pre-season campaign

"Some of the players who we have brought in don't leave any room for doubt. Alan Ruiz for example is a great player and we are looking for another forward", opened Jorge Jesus in his final pre-season post-match interview this Friday.

Reflecting on how his team is prepared for the coming campaign, the Sporting coach proved enthusiastic: "The lads will get better as the season progresses. Over the last seven weeks we have been improving. It is a bit tricky to fit everyone together with some of the lads having played for two teams, but that is what pre-season is for."
