Rui Borges on what Sporting must improve: we’ve fallen short | OneFootball

Rui Borges admitted that finishing is one of the aspects that needs improvement in the Sporting team. The Lions hosted and defeated Alverca at Alvalade last Friday, October 31, and the green and white coach spoke to journalists at the press conference after the match.

The Sporting coach was asked whether finishing was the only aspect to improve in the team, and he began by explaining: "We always try to improve several aspects. We keep trying to add something, so we’re not predictable and to create difficulties for our opponents."

"Finishing has been difficult, but if we converted all our chances, we’d always win 8-0 or 9-0. That’s part of the growth process, we work on it. There are moments of greater inspiration, like on Tuesday, with fewer opportunities than today and we scored five goals. In general, we’ve been missing goals, but it is what it is," Rui Borges said next.

The green and white coach then spoke about Pedro Gonçalves and Francisco Trincão: "I’ve said it before: he’s in his best moment, with more numbers in fewer games than last year. Sometimes stories are created where there are none – for me, he’s in his best form, the numbers prove it."

"Mistakes happen, they’re part of the game. I say the same about Trincão, he’s also in the best phase of his career. The biggest challenge for them is to maintain this level," Rui Borges concluded, speaking about the form of two of the Portuguese internationals in the Sporting team.
