"Players are only thinking about getting the win"

Jorge Jesus on Liga NOS matchday 8

The opposition might be different, but Jorge Jesus has the same idea: three points.

"The players are only thinking about getting the win. We had an experience against Tondela last year which didn't go well for us. They are the image of their coach [Petit], meaning they are aggressive", opened Jesus ahead of the weekend's Liga NOS encounter, going on to answer a question his recent changes out wide in defence: "We are learning and that isn't something that happens in a couple of months. If being the most consistent team is what is needed to win the league, then we want to be more consistent."

To finish, Jesus stayed on the theme of his back line and the number of goals let in so far this season: "When you defend, the whole team has to get involved. it isn't just down to the defence. Our first line of defence has struggled a bit, but we will get better with time and start to find the same routines as last year."
