FC Porto hijacked Suárez? Sporting chief calls it absurd | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas stated that FC Porto was aligned with Benfica in an attempt to influence refereeing decisions. He also added that André Villas-Boas was always talking about Sporting: “Unfortunate comments. I completely disagree with the interference that was mentioned regarding refereeing; that would be the last straw. It would mean that Portuguese football was in a bad way. We had a great season, a season in which FC Porto were dominant and deserved winners. As for other episodes, I have nothing to say, especially about this recent episode of FC Porto’s alleged involvement in diverting Luis Suárez, an absurd flight of fancy from Sporting’s president. Therefore, we have nothing to do with Sporting’s players or their assets, and we have better things to do than conspire against Sporting player transfers. So, we follow our path. The objective is for FC Porto never to leave first place again; those are always our dreams. We won this title with a lot of sweat, a title that had eluded us for four years, and now we want to stay in first place and sustain it over time and always bring joy to the fans. It is our greatest pleasure.”
