Rúben Amorim on his very public talks with West Ham: "The first thing is to say that the club was aware of my trip but it was a mistake, the timing was completely wrong. It was wrong, especially when I'm so demanding with my players and always the first to say that each one's actions can overpower the team. I have removed players from the squad for much less. I apologise to the Sporting fans, the staff, and mainly publicly to my players. It was a mistake because the fact that we are close to winning the championship, nothing has been decided yet, and the team leader causes this noise."
