Tomás da Cunha was not pleased with the performances of Ricardo Mangas and Luis Suárez in the Sporting - Moreirense match, of the sixth round.
Ricardo Mangas and Luis Suárez were two of the targets of Tomás da Cunha in his analysis after Sporting's 3-0 victory over Moreirense. Despite praising the performance of the green and whites, the sports commentator believes this duo fell short of expectations.
"With Inácio, Debast, Hjulmand, and Kochorashvili in the first passes, Sporting has an easier time finding Pedro Gonçalves and Trincão. Quenda improved the connection from the right to the inside. Suárez (in finishing) and Mangas (in crossing) hinder the difference in the score," he noted during the match.
At the end of the match, Tomás da Cunha used his account on the platform 'X' to emphasize the importance of Francisco Trincão: "Playing well or not so well, Trincão's development in personality over the last two seasons has put his career on the right track. He maintains the tendency to solve problems individually (dribbling/shooting), understanding Sporting's moments of difficulty. He handles the pressure."
With this victory – the sixth in eight matches this season – Rui Borges's team reaches 15 points in the Liga Portugal Betclic. The lions thus move up to second place in the competition, behind Porto, who have 18 points, and ahead of Benfica, with 13.
Sporting will return to the field next Saturday, September 27, against Estoril, in a match for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Ian Cathro will be played at 8:30 PM, at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, the opponent's ground.
