he left a very critical assessment of Rodrigo Zalazar's performance in Sporting - Vitória de Guimarães, pointing above all to the midfielder's number of turnovers. The Cascais City Council councillor felt that the Lions team may impress those who only watch the highlights, but that the reality in the stadium is very different.
"Sporting put together a great team for guys who only watch highlights. The one who gets screwed is the guy in the stadium watching Zalazar lose 739 balls per game," wrote the Alvalade club supporter on social media platform 'X', in a direct criticism of the Uruguay international.
The political consultant was even harsher when assessing the midfielder's display on the opening matchday, against Estrela da Amadora (2-2): "His game in Amadora was horrendous. Against Vitória he didn't even have the good part," he said, making his dissatisfaction clear.
: "I understand and agree with the comparison to Bruno Fernandes, but with Pote it has nothing to do with it. Bruno is obviously much better," he explained.
"Pote is not eucalyptus. He doesn't get in the way and he's not selfish," he concluded.
