Maxi Araújo revealed the request Rui Borges made at halftime of the Sporting - Marseille match, which the Lions ended up winning 2-1.

Maxi Araújo was another player to analyze the Sporting - Marseille match, where the Lions turned the game around to secure a 2-1 victory. The Uruguayan international highlighted Rui Borges' halftime speech, but also the team's attitude.

"I think it was a great game from the whole team, we fought until the end and that was reflected in the result. Congratulations to those who came on because they were the ones who decided the game and this is Sporting, fighting until the end alongside our people. We have to give everything for this jersey," he began by saying, in statements to Sport TV.

"What the coach asked is what he always asks us, they had one less player and we had to be patient. We knew the goal would come and it came when it had to because we searched for it. They played more on the counter-attack because they had one less, but we went in search of the goal from the first minute of the second half and fought until the end to achieve our objective," Maxi Araújo stated.

Moreover, Sporting's 'number 20' expressed satisfaction with the performance: "I always give my best because I train and play at my best. I always give my best because that's who I am, I'm a player who likes to give everything for the club, for my teammates, for myself, and I think it's beautiful when it's recognized because you work hard for this and I believe today both I and the team did very well and fought until the end."

"For me, it's a pride because since I arrived, I've been received incredibly, both by my teammates and the club. I came to a very giant club and this club demands you to always win, to give everything in every game, I believe I've always done that since I arrived and I will continue to do so until the day I'm no longer here," the Uruguayan concluded.
