Carlos Severino on St. Juste saga: Sporting isn’t a charity | OneFootball

Carlos Severino addressed the saga surrounding Jeremiah St. Juste. In an exclusive interview for our newspaper, the former presidential candidate naturally sees the demotion of the center back to the B team, following a controversy in which the player released a statement on his social media, which has already received a response from the Alvalade Club.

"Since Jeremiah St. Juste has been at Sporting, he has spent almost two years with injuries. In fact, Sporting is not a charity house nor can it be. Naturally, if the player is not systematically operational and there is no consistency in his participation in the team, Sporting does not need a player in these conditions", he begins.

In addition to the various physical problems, Carlos Severino mentions the new system of Rui Borges as a factor for the loss of space for St. Juste: "He is one less piece for Sporting. With the arrival of Rui Borges and his new system, Sporting does not need so many center backs and I even agree with what the President said, he is the fifth center back".

In conclusion, the former Director of Communication of Sporting admits that this situation is unpleasant for all parties and wishes it to be resolved as soon as possible: "There was no need for this. He did not accept the proposals that were made and naturally moved to the B team, which is a professional team. He has a professional contract with Sporting, so there is no illegality".

"It is not a pleasant situation, neither for him nor for Sporting and I hope it is resolved as soon as possible, as there are still open markets. It's an unpleasant situation for everyone, but the player needs to understand that, at this moment, he is no longer useful to Sporting", concluded Carlos Severino.
