Tropin hopes that Benfica will become champions, so that the fans can forgive the 5-0 defeat to FC Porto, at the Estadio do Dragao. Speaking to the “Fezberna” channel on YouTube, the Benfica goalkeeper admitted that the defeat was painful, but the red team learned from the mistakes it made in El Clásico.
“Of course it was very painful for the team and the fans. A result like that against such an opponent. But in moments like this we grow as a team, so it's great that we took a step forward as a team after that match. The most important thing is that we become champions in May, and our fans will forgive us for “This match.”
In the same statements, Tropin praised Sporting, but recalled that Benfica had already lost points that had cost the Eagles dearly.
“Of course, Sporting is playing very well, they are a very good team. I think we lost our points and wins in some games, and that's why we are now in second place. It's good that there is always a second chance in football, and there is always the next match, so after a while “The international break will be very interesting. The psychological games and the pressure, but when you have that kind of pressure, you grow as a player.”
