Leonino exclusive - Sporting winger unhappy with the role he's played in | OneFootball

Luís Guilherme feels more comfortable playing on the right, Leonino understands. The Brazilian winger, signed by Sporting with high expectations, believes it is on that flank that he can get the best out of his attributes.

The position is currently occupied by Geny Catamo, which puts the player in direct competition for a place in the starting eleven. Despite already being integrated into the group and gradually adapting to Portuguese football, the number 31 has still not managed to consistently show all the potential that Sporting saw in him at the time of his signing.

The player continues to work to earn more space among the options and, according to what our newspaper has learned, he believes that more regular use on the right could help him get closer to the level he knows he can reach. He himself feels that his characteristics are better used on the opposite flank.

A recent example came against Famalicão, a match in which he was deployed on the left. Playing in that area did not end up benefiting the Brazilian, who delivered an underwhelming performance and was unable to have the desired influence on the game.

Luís Guilherme - who has already been criticised by Luís Guilherme - knows, however, that he will have to keep working to earn minutes and show on the pitch the qualities that led Sporting to invest in signing him.
