Exclusive: Bruno Ferreira picks Sporting’s biggest letdown | OneFootball

Bruno Ferreira gave an exclusive interview to Leonino. Among various topics discussed, the comedian believes that Sporting needs to strengthen itself in the winter transfer market, chose Giorgi Kochorashvili – who may leave in the summer – as the player who has lived up to expectations the least and considers that Rui Borges' team plays the best football in Portugal.

"The January market always ends up being important to adjust according to the performance that teams are showing. In this case, just like last year, yes, it is urgent for the team to reinforce itself. I know there are young talents in the B team who are ready to move up, but, in the end, they may not be enough for what we need. We have everything in our hands, meaning we can be champions, we can win both Cups, and that's what forces us to make signings. We've never been very strong in the winter market, but this is the best year to reverse that trend," he begins, then goes on to talk about the evolution of the Georgian midfielder.

"Kochorashvili promised a lot in the first and second games he played, but in my view, he did not live up, at least, to the expectations we had of him... but they are ours and, therefore, what I hope is that they play well. What we really need is depth on the bench. I like Mangas, I have a soft spot for Fresneda, even Vagiannidis, but I always think they are second choices for last-minute substitutions, suspensions, or strategy. For them to be starters seems a bit short to me".

Although Porto is in first place, five points ahead of Sporting, Bruno Ferreira considers that Rui Borges' team plays the best football: "There was a phase when Porto was very dominant. It’s true that they keep winning, but no longer with that quality and often not very fairly, considering what they do on the field. Overall, Sporting is the team that has been performing the best."

Regarding Borges, the actor says he trusts the work being done: "If the players are with him... He has achievements and important feats for the Club. He will always pay the price for being a coach who arrived at Sporting without a big résumé. In truth, he deserves to be there and, as long as he’s winning, we have to be happy", he concludes.
