Bruno Sá slams Sporting: “Top player, midfielder, defender, winger left” | OneFootball

Bruno Sá, a former candidate for the Sporting presidency, delivered harsh criticism of the deep overhaul carried out by Sporting’s SAD during the latest transfer window. The businessman believes the green and whites made too many changes in a single window and argues that there are still gaps in the squad.

In a post on Instagram, Bruno Sá began by taking stock of Sporting’s ins and outs. "The window has closed. In Portugal and in Arabia. In a single window, they did what should have been built over the course of years. The best player left, the most decisive one, the best midfielder, the best defender and the best winger when he was in form."

The former Sporting candidate acknowledged some potential in the signings made, but believes Rui Borges’s team remains unbalanced in certain positions. "A ready-made player came in, along with several interesting projects. We still need a number 8, we still need a replacement for Maxi, we still need a Champions League-level goalkeeper", he wrote.

Even so, Bruno Sá pointed out some positive aspects in the new Sporting. "I take the rejuvenation, the reduction in the wage bill and a team that is less complacent", he said, highlighting the changes in the squad’s composition and profile.

The businessman’s main concern, however, has to do with the team’s leadership in moments of greater pressure. "I’m also left wondering who leads this team on the pitch in difficult moments", he added.

Bruno Sá ended the message with an appeal for unity around the team, even in the case of players whose future was uncertain during the transfer window. "For now, this is what we have. Let everyone get on board, including those who stayed without wanting to stay. We go into the fight with these. The only indispensable thing is Sporting", he concluded.
