António Tadeia absolves Rui Silva, says Sporting's problem is obvious | OneFootball

António Tadeia offered a critical analysis of Sporting's current situation, arguing that the team's problems go far beyond the individual weaknessesthat have been pointed out, namely Rui Silva's and those of the Lions' defensive line.

"I read that the goalkeeper is average, that the centre-backs are fragile, that the winger is missing, but Sporting's problem is that it has become a team made up of players who think about the game individually," the journalist began by writing on the social network 'X'.

In Tadeia's opinion, the players are too focused on trying to resolve plays on their own, instead of prioritising the collective game: "They accelerate, cross, shoot… They don't connect," he criticised, pointing to a team that has lost some of its ability to combine.

This is because the Alvalade club gives possession away to the opposition far too quickly: "Quick possessions hand the game to the opponent," he explained.
