Juventude Leonina lose patience with Sporting: it shames any fan | OneFootball

Juventude Leonina, one of the lions' supporter groups, reacted harshly to Sporting’s 2-2 draw against Tondela last Wednesday, April 29, directing strong criticism at the team’s performance, Rui Borges, and also the green-and-white board.

In a statement published on social media, the supporter group began by pointing to the lions’ performance: “Another game at Alvalade that shames any supporter!”, stressing that the problem is not just the result, but the way it was achieved: “Drawing at home is not, in itself, the problem; the problem is how the draw happens. Lack of intensity, lack of attitude, lack of ideas. An apathetic team, without ambition, that seems to step onto the pitch without understanding the weight of the shirt it wears".

The criticism also extended to the football being played and the team’s attitude: “The football on display is poor, predictable and ineffective. There is no dynamism, no fight, none of that fire that has defined Sporting in recent years. The players are exhausted and it’s not only their fault! This is not excessive demands from those who are two-time champions! It’s the minimum!”.

The supporter group also did not spare Rui Borges, pointing to his direct responsibility: “The coach also bears clear blame. The team does not improve, does not react, does not show identity. The decisions add nothing and the squad was rarely managed properly, even when it was possible!”.

In addition, there was criticism of the transfer policy of the SAD led by Frederico Varandas: “The board once again had a January transfer window at the level of a small team; the players who came in are no better than the players who left, we lost quality, we lost options!”.

The message ends with a call for change and greater internal demands: “Sporting cannot be this. And let high standards be part of everyday life at this club! Solutions yesterday, attitudes yesterday! Because Sporting deserves more. Always!! One day Juve Leo, Juve Leo until I die! Sporting always".
