Sending-off in extra time: Being without the team, in these final moments, was painful, because it was a reflection of what has been happening over the years. I am not saying that I have not made mistakes, and I have made many. I have done things that have led to one or another deserved sending-off. Today, honestly... I am paying a little bit for that, but I was the one who created this. I have to repent and be a little bit more of an ice cube in the technical area. I have had many years to change, but I will try. Honestly, a final experienced in this way, with fair play on and off the pitch, sending me off from the technical area does not make much sense. That, combined with the emotion of winning another title, with the chairman ending his life as a leader... I welcome the new chairman of SAD, André Villas-Boas. May he have a career as glorious as the chairman who left us.

Staying at FC Porto: This is not the time to talk about that, especially because there has been a lot of speculation. I made a point of clarifying this, in the preview, so that later they would not say that I am talking about it because I won or lost. I did not want to. I wanted to make people understand that this situation is very well defined in my head. In the next few days, you will know (...). I have already made my decision, yes.

Conversation with André Villas-Boas: It is not a question of convincing, it is of looking to the future of FC Porto and seeing what is the best situation, with all the peace of mind. We have to unite FC Porto, not divide it. This year, this division was felt a lot and everything that was said outside Olival and Dragão. It was not easy to manage that. It was very difficult. I made decisions, even with the work group, that were very tough. A few words for Jorge Sánchez, Iván Jaime, André Franco and Toni Martínez, because I pondered a lot. I did this for the first time in my career, it cost me a lot, but it had to be done, because I always see the team first. Because of what we experienced in the locker room, we had to give a strong signal. They always had the utmost respect for me and for FC Porto, but they were choices that I had to make, also because they would not, with my decision, call up kids from the B team. Between the bad mood or some bad atmosphere that could exist, I made this decision. I wanted to dedicate this victory to my family and to two people who are not with us. I am repetitive, but I always have to remember my parents, because, if it were not for them, it would be very difficult to be here, at this moment.
