Porto midfielder plays the star and says he doesn't care about Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting was mentioned in Gabri Veiga’s statements after Porto’s 3-0 victory over Moreirense, in a match from the 26th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. At the end of the game, the Spanish midfielder commented on the postponement of the Lions’ match and took a jab.

Asked about the situation of the Alvalade club and the points advantage in the league, the footballer showed indifference to the topic and responded directly: “I don’t care about Sporting or the advantage,” said the midfielder, downplaying the impact of the postponed match.

Francesco Farioli’s protégé further reinforced this position when commenting on the decision to postpone the direct rival’s match in the title race: “We have to focus on ourselves, we know there are eight finals left, we depend on ourselves… whether they wanted to postpone the game or not, it doesn’t matter to us,” he stated.

Gabri Veiga scored his fifth goal for the blue and whites against the Cónegos, but didn’t hide his desire to improve: "I have a lot to improve. Defensively, I’m not happy with my numbers, I have to help more, I’m very demanding. I’m happy with the goal, but I have to give more".
