As soon as Sporting v Club Brugge ends, Salvador Blopa apologises | OneFootball

Salvador Blopa made his debut in the Champions League, being brought on by Rui Borges in Sporting's 3-0 victory against Club Brugge. However, not everything about the night was memorable for the young player from the lions' formation, and he ended up using the end of the match to apologize to Nordin Jackers, who left injured after a collision between them.

"More than anything, I wanted to apologize to the Club Brugge goalkeeper. It wasn't a play where I had bad intentions. It was a clean play. I didn't have the courage to hit him, and I hope he recovers quickly. I wanted to apologize", he began, addressing the Belgian keeper.

"Regarding these months, it's a very big cycle. I started in the B team and now I've come here to the main team. I think it's a good cycle to evolve as a person and player. But it has been fun and very good for my growth as a player. It's very good", said Salvador Blopa.

When asked about Rui Borges' words before sending him in, the young Sporting player was clear: "He told me to stay focused, not to be afraid to push forward and play my normal game, and to have fun. Besides the tactical things, we have to go on the field and enjoy ourselves. Now the goal is to keep being here, grow with the team, train every day, and that's it. It's step by step".

This season, Salvador Blopa has played 15 matches for Sporting: nine in Liga 3 for the B team, three for the under-19s in the UEFA Youth League, and three in the main squad. In total, the winger has played 1,051 minutes, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
