Goucha meets Sporting player, fails to recognise him, calls self ignorant | OneFootball

Manuel Luís Goucha met with Ricardo Mangas. The television presenter recalled the episode in which he had the opportunity to be in the company of the ‘number 91’ of the Lions at the most recent edition of Moda Lisboa, but even so, he did not recognize that he was a Sporting player, as he does not follow football.

“There were many people who kindly wanted to take photos with me at Moda Lisboa. Among them was this young man, whom I found out the next day was a player for Sporting Clube de Portugal, Ricardo Mangas. In fact, when people say I am cultured, I always say I have knowledge in areas that interest me, and here it proves that I am ignorant when it comes to football matters,” wrote the presenter on his social media.

Even so, Manuel Luís Goucha showed that he had done some research about Ricardo Mangas and revealed that he has topics for a possible reunion with the Sporting player: “If I ever talk with Ricardo, I will certainly be prepared, I already know about his time in Russia as a player, his passion for Sporting since he was a child, his marriage, the fact that he will soon be a father, and that he likes fashion. And yes, he has style.”

It is worth remembering that the former Spartak Moscow player has been losing some prominence in the last few games for the Alvalade club. After taking the starting spot at left-back due to Maxi Araújo’s injury, the ‘number 91’ of the Lions returned to the bench after the Uruguayan international’s return to competition. His last appearance was in the 3-0 win against Moreirense, on September 22.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Ricardo Mangas – valued at 2.5 million euros – has played six matches. Throughout the 403 minutes he was used by Rui Borges, the Olhão native has already scored two goals, both in a brace against Arouca.
