Jorge Jesus happy with the return to business as usual

"It was objective accomplished, winning the three points and getting things back to normal", said Jorge Jesus at the final whistle on Sunday night.

For Jorge Jesus, the most important thing was the win, rather than an expressive result: A goal at the beginning of the match always helps, but we were still feeling a bit anxious because of our last two draws. We are building up a culture here and that doesn't happen in two months. We had 10 players who came in at the beginning of September, who wer not used to Sporting CP. That is the culture that we are building up and the president is creating a structure and a new dynamic at the club."

Liga NOS action will now be moved on to the back burner, with an international break coming up. However, for Jorge Jesus the stoppage doesn't come at the best time: "For us it isn't (an advantage). Most of the lads will be away and we will be without some of our most important players. Most of the new faces in the squad still haven't completely taken on what being at Sporting CP means."
