Ruben Amorim's mic drop moment

Following the 1-0 win against Tottenham, in a press conference, Sporting CP’s coach, Ruben Amorim, was questioned by an arrogant English journalist, who asked if the Portuguese team deserved to win a match in which they had less ball possession than their opponent. Amorim answered brilliantly with a question of his own: “Do you think that the fans who paid a ticket to watch a football match want to see the ball going back and forth between the two teams or do they want to see chances, goals, saves from the goalkeeper?”. The journalist was speechless.

The perfect reply to an English reporter’s entitlement

Amorim’s answer was a perfect reply to the English reporter’s entitlement. The reporter seemed to believe that English football was superior to Portuguese football and that Sporting CP did not deserve to win because they had less ball possession. Amorim’s answer showed that he was not impressed by the reporter’s attitude and that he believed that Sporting CP deserved to win because they had created more chances and scored more goals.

Amorim’s answer was also a reminder that football is not just about possession. It is about creating chances, scoring goals, and winning matches. Sporting CP did all of those things against Tottenham, and they deserved to win.
