Before tough run, Rui Borges issues stern warning to Sporting squad | OneFootball

Sporting faces a highly competitive month of December ahead, with the challenging run beginning this Friday, December 5, against Benfica. Rui Borges has been clear in the message he has given his squad during this period.

According to the newspaper Record, the coach of the green and whites wants his players to be aware that, despite nine wins in their last ten games, everything can change very quickly. As the team returns to training, Rui Borges wants the entire Sporting group to stay focused on the difficulty of the upcoming objectives.

“I am super calm, regardless of what might happen in the derby or even throughout this month, which is quite demanding in terms of matches and level of difficulty. But I see them happy playing – and that makes me happy,” Rui Borges even said to journalists, after the thrashing of Estrela da Amadora (4-0).

With the victory over the tricolors – their 16th in 21 matches this season – Rui Borges’s men now have 31 points and remain in second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (34) is in first place, while Benfica sits in third (28).

The green and white team will be back on the pitch next Friday, December 5, against Benfica. The match, part of the 13th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by José Mourinho, will be played at 8:15 pm at Estádio da Luz.
