Luís Suárez arrives in Germany, Sporting’s new striker causing a stir | OneFootball

The German newspaper Sport Bild dedicated this Monday, September 15th, an extensive article to Sporting, emphasizing that winning their first double in 23 years could mark a turning point in the national landscape. The good form of Luis Suárez was also not forgotten.

The Germans note that the “Lions” are preparing to take “the next step towards a new era of dominance in Portugal, and to reestablish the Club among Europe’s elite,” following their league and cup triumphs at the end of last season.

Next, Sport Bild turns to Sporting’s strong financial results, which have not affected the football played this new season: “In the end, the club brought in up to 76 million euros, including bonuses. In addition, Dário Essugo went to Chelsea for around 22 million euros, and Conrad Harder transferred, on the last day of the transfer window, to Leipzig for 24 million euros.”

“And Sporting? They continue exactly where they left off before the summer break. Three wins in the first three league matches. Gyokeres’ replacement, Luis Suárez, started off brilliantly, with two goals and two assists. The same goes for winger Francisco Trincão. The forward, Fotis Ioannidis, signed from Panathinaikos for 22 million euros, arrived later,” highlighting two signings who stood out in the victory over Famalicão.

In conclusion, Sport Bild tried to explain Sporting’s new game plan in their quest for a third consecutive championship: “Coach Rui Borges wants to build a more flexible team without Gyokeres and focus on the group’s dedication and unity. One of the greatest expectations is on the young forward, Geovany Quenda, who will also move to Chelsea next summer. At Sporting, he is seen as the biggest talent since the rise of Cristiano Ronaldo.
