Eduardo Quaresma could cause major headaches for Sporting after Bayern | OneFootball

Eduardo Quaresma finished the Bayern Munich - Sporting match completely exhausted. Rui Borges once again started the young defender in the lineup for the sixth round of the Champions League, with Quaresma himself being substituted in the final stages of the match.

The 'number 72' left the field around the 80th minute, with Georgios Vagiannidis coming on to take his place. Quaresma showed considerable signs of fatigue midway through the second half, which ultimately led to him not finishing the match on the pitch.

At the end of the game, the performance of the young Sporting academy player even earned him positive comments from Rui Borges, who was very pleased with what he saw: “We don’t play with three centre-backs, only in terms of the players’ positions. I actually wanted Edu Quaresma to play more as a third centre-back, but he rarely did, because he was always playing as a full-back, and that’s our game plan. That’s what I asked of him and he had a great game.”

The green and white team will be back on the pitch next Saturday, December 13, against AFS, in a match for the 14th round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by João Pedro Sousa will be played at 8:30 pm, at Alvalade.

This sporting season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Eduardo Quaresma – valued at 17 million euros – has only played nine matches. So far this season, the player has accumulated a total of 598 minutes, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
