Debast steers clear of Sporting controversy: "It's not for me to discuss" | OneFootball

Zeno Debast chose not to comment on a hot topic at Sporting that has been making headlines in recent weeks.

Zeno Debast was the player chosen to be at the press conference previewing Sporting - Kairat. The footballer was asked about the situation of Jeremiah St. Juste, a player who stopped training with the main team of the lions, but chose not to fuel the topic.

“It's something between him and the Club, it's not something I should talk about”, said the 21-year-old Belgian international, in statements to Sport TV, following the controversy during the transfer market, which ended with the Dutch defender in the B team of the greens and whites.

Furthermore, Zeno Debast also discussed the moment he is experiencing at the Alvalade Club: "I try to keep my feet on the ground and work hard on the aspects I still need to improve. There are always things to improve, I'm young and it's normal,” he mentioned.

It should be remembered that Jeremiah St. Juste joined Sporting in 2022, coming from Mainz, for about 10 million euros. Although he managed to show why Sporting spent that amount, the central defender never managed to establish himself as a starter, largely due to injuries that always troubled him. The arrival of Rui Borges, and the change to a system with two central defenders instead of three, ended up reducing even more space for the player.
