Eduardo Barroso: Rui Borges treated disgracefully at Sporting | OneFootball

On the night of last Wednesday, October 22, Sporting managed a comeback against Marseille, ultimately winning 2-1. However, the performance of the Lions ended up generating quite different opinions among the Alvalade Club supporters.

Eduardo Barroso ended up focusing on the criticism that Sporting’s coach has been facing, in statements to the newspaper Record: “It was a great thrill, it was Rui Borges’ victory. We played against ten in the second half, but it was a remarkable performance, the result was too narrow. Rui Borges has been treated ignobly, just for being a humble man.”

Meanwhile, Francisco Moita Flores was not satisfied with what he has seen from the green and whites: “It was a game not for the faint of heart, Sporting cannot miss so many chances. They won against ten. This is not last year’s Sporting, the defense is weak, the finishing... it doesn’t have the same grit.”

Tonel, on the other hand, ended up focusing on the two different moments of the match: “It was a good win, two completely different halves. Igor Paixão scored a fantastic goal. Emerson’s sending off at 45’ changed the game, and Sporting knew how to take advantage of the numerical superiority.”
