Tomás da Cunha hails Sporting’s divisive player: The best... | OneFootball

Tomás da Cunha took to his social media to comment on the Sporting - Club Brugge match, which the Lions ended up winning 3-0, in a match valid for the fifth round of the Champions League. The sports commentator chose to highlight the performance of Iván Fresneda, a player who has experienced many ups and downs at Alvalade.

"It is possibly Fresneda's best performance for Sporting. Fitting in as the right center-back, he nullified Tzolis and was instrumental in the 3-0. Maxi Araújo also clearly outperformed Forbs. The movements of Quenda (always unpredictable inside) and Trincão were indecipherable", he began by saying.

Furthermore, Tomás da Cunha also discussed other players, such as Gonçalo Inácio and, again, Francisco Trincão: "Inácio made a mistake, but then delivered two quality passes. Sporting plays with close approaches to break marking and attack the back (brilliant reading by Trincão, in the 1-0). Suárez turns and threatens, Catamo in 1x1 and surprises inside. Quenda provides diversity that Alisson lacks".

"The connection between Suárez and Trincão in the central corridor was key for Sporting to play one of the best periods of the season. Quenda also contributed and, with Pote out, Rui Borges recovers him on the left midfield. Building through Inácio, there is an advantage when the ball reaches Catamo", the sports commentator added.

Sporting returns to the field next Sunday, November 30th, against Estrela da Amadora, in a match for the 12th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by João Nuno will be played at 6:00 PM, in Alvalade.
