Eduardo Barroso's son thrilled by Sporting signing: Fine start | OneFootball

Sporting beat Alverca 3-1 at Alvalade, and one of the standout talking points from the match was Sergi Altimira’s performance. The midfielder once again played an important role in Sporting’s midfield, in a game in which Rui Borges’ side secured their second consecutive win in the league.

After the match, Eduardo Garcia, son of Eduardo Barroso, wrote, “MVP. Great start to the season,” in a post in which he also shared an analysis by Rafael Soares.

The journalist believes that the number 5 will be one of the most closely watched players throughout the season, mainly because of the responsibility of filling the void left by Morten Hjulmand. The comparison with João Palhinha naturally arises in this context, but the analyst feels that Altimira has been providing good answers.

In the post shared by Eduardo Garcia, Rafael Soares highlighted the exact qualities that have allowed the new signing to gain ground: “Altimira will be one of Sporting’s most scrutinized players (he replaces Hjulmand and will be compared to Palhinha). He is passing with distinction. His positional sense helps solve defensive problems and he shows remarkable intelligence in possession. So far, the Lions’ best signing.”

The Lions will be back in action next Friday, August 28, against Rio Ave. The match, part of the fourth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Sotiris Sylaidopoulos, will be played at 8:15 p.m. in Vila do Conde.
