Jorge Jesus pleased with his young talent in Saturday's demolition of Tondela

Proud of his young players. That is how Jorge Jesus summarised his post-match press conference this Saturday, after watching Daniel Podence and Matheus Pereira pick apart Tondela and assist the goal hungry Bas Dost in a 4-1 win.

"Daniel Podence did will for the first goal and it is a great example of what these lads can bring to the team. It was important for us to go in at half-time in the lead. It settled the younger players and helped us relax in the second-half. What we are doing is important for the future, accepting the risk of having so many young players out on the pitch at the same time. Gelson has already made a name for himself and I liked what Matheus Pereira, Podence and Palhinha showed", said the Sporting CP coach.

Commenting on Bas Dost's unstoppable form in front of goal, Jesus added: "He is a really humble player and he have the second penalty to Joel Campbell. It is risky to take three penalties on one match and we put all three the same way, which we have to work on. If Bas Dost finishes at the league's top scorer, then it reflects on the whole team as well as him indivudally."
