Ian Cathro sends strong warning to Sporting: The aim is to win | OneFootball

Ian Cathro gave a preview of the match against Sporting, which will take place this Friday, February 27th. The Scottish coach emphasized ambition and focus to keep seeing the canary team evolve, even while being aware of the "maximum level of difficulty" they will face against the national two-time champions.

"The idea is not to lose, the idea is to try to win. We have the right to approach the game as we want and we are going to try to win. We know it’s very difficult, against a team that is expected to win almost every game, with great chemistry, tremendous spirit, and incredible players. We are aware of that, but we are even more focused on our own growth and these days are good for that," he said.

The Estoril coach also commented on his team’s progress. "We want to improve every game to keep growing. We want to win, but there will still be 10 games left afterwards. Besides that, it’s important not to forget that these players are achieving important results, because, if we look at the 2023/24 season, we finished with 33 points", he emphasized.

And Fotis Ioannidis is still doubtful. Besides that, Zeno Debast will also not play due to a decision, informed Rui Borges in the pre-match press conference.
