did not spare Rui Borges after Sporting’s draw against Arouca (2-2), criticizing above all one of the choices made by the Sporting coach during the match. The Lions supporter questioned the decision to leave Flávio Gonçalves on the bench and start Nestory Irankunda instead.
"But this lunatic takes off Flávio to put on that Australian with two bricks??? On top of that, there’s no league match for another 3 weeks," he wrote in a post on social media. The message came after another slip-up by the Lions, who had been leading 2-0 but ended up allowing their opponent to come back.
Irankunda did in fact start in the starting eleven, in one of the changes made by Rui Borges compared to the match against Famalicão. The Australian played in a more advanced position on the left and ended up being substituted in the 57th minute, after Zeno Debast was sent off.
Sporting threw away a lead for the second consecutive matchday and once again dropped points, in a game in which Gonçalo Inácio and Luis Suárez scored in the first half, before José Fontán and Dylan Nandín restored parity in the second half.
The criticism of the coach grew after the result, with Rui Borges admitting that the team has to know how to live with the demands and the reaction of the fans. The break for international duty now comes before the league returns.
