Okay, that’s it for today. Thanks for your company and emails – goodnight.
Bruno Fernandes’s reaction
I always look at the goalkeeper before facing them. Last season he did something differently [when he saved Fernandes’s penalty] so I changed the way I wanted to kick the ball and I was successful.
Every week is challenging at this club. We all know Erik has gone and it’s not good for anyone … when a manager leaves you have to look in the mirror first because it means the team is not doing well. Everyone is involved but only one person pays because it’s easier to get rid of a manager than 15 players.
I spoke with Erik and apologised to him if there was something I could have done better for him. I feel really disappointed that he’s gone. I wasn’t scoring goals which is a big thing for me and the team and I feel a big responsibility because of that.
[On Ruben Amorim] I’ve spoken with him a couple of times when I went to watch Sporting. I watch all their games because it’s my team there and I know how they play. But we don’t know what the manager will do because we have different players here. For now we have to do our best for Ruud; he deserves that.
