Pundit slams Geovany Quenda’s display for Sporting: “Constant losses” | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda did not have one of his best performances against Juventus, quite the opposite. As a result, Tomás da Cunha made some comments about the young Sporting player’s game, which ended up being criticisms, since he considers that the ‘number 7’ was “anti-competitive.”

“Hjulmand, if he wants to return to Serie A, all he has to do is show the video of Juventus vs Sporting. Quenda was anti-competitive and exposed the team to constant losses. As for Vagiannidis, and as much as it would have made sense to bet on Quaresma, suffering against Kenan Yıldız is absolutely normal,” he began by writing.

Still on his ‘X’ account (formerly Twitter), Tomás da Cunha stressed that the Lions’ coach needs more options: “In high-level matches, when Sporting is under pressure, Rui Borges needs alternatives that allow the team to pause and withstand the pressure. He won’t do it with Catamo and Alisson. I’m surprised he doesn’t play with João Simões’ versatility and the possibility of strengthening the midfield.”

“The first half hour from Sporting is good. It allowed Pote (dropping deep to build up) and Trincão to be well positioned many times, resulting in two high-level plays. Being more comfortable defending with the ball, they lacked the maturity not to speed up so much. The pressure weakens the central area,” he further emphasized.

The green and white team will return to the field next Saturday, November 8, against Santa Clara, in a match for the 11th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Matos will be played at 8:30 pm at the Estádio de São Miguel, in Ponta Delgada.
