João de Deus frustrated with what is now a run of 10 games without a win

João de Deus was understandably frustrated after seeing his side again miss out on the three point this weekend, despite taking the lead early on.

"The first-half was pretty much what we planned and we had chances to put the game to bed. In the second-half, although we dominated, we were unable to guarantee the three points", said the Sporting CP B coach, going on to add his analysis on the featuring of four under-19 players (Ivanildo Fernandes, Bubacar Djaló, Jovane Cabral and Bruno Paz): "We have to use the best we have, so I brought in some youth players. I am sure they will have more opportunities going forward."
 
Who also made an appearance was Merih Demiral, making his debut in a Sporting shirt. "He is a good player and you can see that from how he has been playing for Turkey. He already knows how we play and he will contribute to us climbing up the table", finished João de Deus.

Guima on the weekend's draw with Famalicão

In 19th place with 27 points, Sporting CP B are currently sitting in the Ledman LigaPro relegation zone. It has been a bad run of results, but Sporting CP B's Guima is not about to throw in the towel just yet.

"We have to carry on working. Sporting CP shouldn't be where we are now, we should be at the top. Right now we are focused on getting out of the relegation zone and then climbing the table as much as possible", affirmed the Sporting CP B midfielder, continuing with his analysis of the weekend's action against Famalicão: "It was a good, competitive game. We were on top of them and we could have scored a second goal."

Gelson Dala puts Sporting CP B ahead after five minutes, but Famalicão rally in the second-half

Sporting CP B were again unable to turn in the three points this weekend, this time being held to a draw by the visiting Famalicão.

João de Deus brought in four under-19 stars for the game (Abdu Conté, Bruno Paz, Jovane Cabral and Bubacar Djaló), in addition to new faces Gelson Dala and Merih Demiral.
 
Gelson put Sporting CP B ahead after just five minutes with a calm finish. Bilel and Pedro Delgado were also looking dangerous in attack, while down the other end Jug was let off the hook by some poor finishing by João Mendes after the Sporting CP B keeper failed to deal with a cross.
 
No other real chances materialised before half-time, with the tale of the rest of the action being the sending off of Mera for a hard foul on Jovane Cabral.
 
Although down a man, Famalicão came out strong in the second-half and managed to equalise through Diogo Cunha (55').
 
Sporting CP B continue in the lower half of Ledman LigaPro, having not turned in a win for 10 consecutive matches.

Coach João de Deus spoke with radio journalists after his side's draw against Sp. Covilhã (1-1), on an afternoon which saw Sporting CP dominate from start to finish.

Hopefully they will keep pushing themselves to keep improving."

João de Deus' side dominate but were unable to break the deadlock

Sporting CP B were unable to find their winning form this week, this time being held to a draw by Sp. Covilhã. João de Deus' side actually led for most of the afternoon through Gelson Dala's debut strike for the club after a pass from Pedro Delgado.

Despite Sporting CP B's dominance, play was bogged down for the most part. However, Covilhã were limited to just a single opportunity in the first-half, when Zarabi fired off target from close range (38'). Ary Papel and Gelson Dala were the instigators of most of Sporting CP B's efforts going forward and Ary himself came close to scoring with a shot from range that was turned away by the visiting keeper.
 
Sporting CP B continued to dominate after the break, playing some quality football and holding down the midfield while blitzing down the flanks. Gelson Dala came close to netting his second, but it was the hosts who struck, after Abdu Conté brought down Harramiz for a penalty converted on by Erivelto.

João de Deus on the weekend's defeat to the Ledman LigaPro leaders

Shaken by a heavy loss but motivated for the second half of the Ledman LigaPro campaign. That is how João de Deus approached his post-match interview this weekend, after missing out to the II Liga leaders, Portimonense.

"We knew it would be a very difficult match. The league table shows why Portimonense are in first. They are effectively the best team in the league and are much better than everyone else. We didn't play well in the first-half and Portimonense ended up scoring from the two chances they had. Two situations brought about by individual mistakes from us. The second-half was different. We were playing better and starting to create problems, but we knew they would come at us again. That is exactly what happened and they had two more chances and scored two more goals", explained the Sporting CP B coach at the final whistle, adding: "We need to turn in some wins to turn around this run of negative results. This is my third season with the team and every year this happens. We have spoken about it and we are expecting to have a better second half to the season."
