Pundit analyses Varandas comments at Sporting: evoked Pinto da Costa | OneFootball

Bruno Francisco analyzed Frederico Varandas’ recent statements about Luis Suárez’s situation and believes the Sporting president sought to put an end, once and for all, to the controversy that has surrounded the Colombian forward since the start of the season.

Speaking on A BOLA TV, the pundit began by highlighting the way the Sporting leader approached the issue. “The tone was reminiscent of Pinto da Costa’s glory days, with that more cutting humor. Explaining what was going on, but making a few analogies.”

Bruno Francisco believes, however, that the most important thing for the Lions is to quickly draw a line under the matter. “It is in the interest of Sporting’s hierarchy and, in this case, the Sporting president, to end this soap opera as quickly as possible. Because, all things considered, it was the biggest issue at the start of Sporting’s season. Leaving training, possible disputes with the coach and teammates, being somewhat apart from the squad in the sense of having few relationships.”

The pundit also warned about the consequences all this noise could bring, both on the sporting side and in the market itself. “This kind of soap opera is bad in every way. Not only does it destabilize the working group, but it also creates noise among the fans, not just Sporting’s, but across the football world. And also, if Sporting want to sell the player, this is bad because it ends up lowering his value.”
