Exclusive: Frederico Varandas snubs Sporting’s rival | OneFootball

Rui Costa has been repeatedly saying since the end of last season that Sporting has been favored by referees. Frederico Varandas and the other leaders of the Alvalade Club are not at all concerned with the complaints from their rival, Leonino knows.

In recent months, the top official of Benfica has frequently targeted the lions, but the criticisms do not affect the work being done by both the President of Sporting and Rui Borges, who remain calm and immune to the words of the high-ranking official of the eagles.

According to what our newspaper has found out, Frederico Varandas believes this is a strategy used by the reds to influence referees and to disguise the poor results achieved by Benfica in football in recent years, despite the many millions spent.

In the press conference previewing the eighth round of the Portuguese League, the lions' coach was specifically asked about Rui Costa's words, but the leader of the Alvalade team sidestepped the issue and left the rival talking to themselves.

Sporting will return to the field only next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, part of the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium at 7:15 PM.
