Expert urges Rodrigo Ribeiro to switch position at Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting B defeated Feirense, 3-2, in the tenth round of Liga 2. Rodrigo Ribeiro scored one of the goals in a match where he was used by João Gião in different positions from those he was trained in, playing behind Rafael Nel, who was the striker. Tomás da Cunha believes the young player can 'bear fruit' in more withdrawn areas.

"Rodrigo Ribeiro still has time to have a good career, naturally evolving into the role of an attacking midfielder/second striker," he began writing on social media after analyzing the movements of the 'number 28' in the match against the fogaceiros.

For Tomás da Cunha, Rodrigo Ribeiro "being more connected to creation, without the responsibility of seeking depth and ensuring presence in the area, unleashes his best characteristics," after several years of being labeled as a great promise for the striker position.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Rodrigo Ribeiro - valued at 2.5 million euros - has played eight matches: seven for the B team and one with the main squad. In total, the 20-year-old forward has accumulated 527 minutes, in which he scored four goals and made one assist in Liga 2.

It is worth remembering that last season, the forward represented AVS, on loan from the lions. For the Vila das Aves team, Rodrigo Ribeiro played 23 games, in an adventure that did not go as well as expected, scoring only one goal.
