Rui Borges hails Sporting star leaving soon: he's a class act | OneFootball

Rui Borges expressed his happiness for the victory of Sporting (4-1) against Kairat Almaty. The coach of the Alvalade Club discussed the performances of several players, notably Geovany Quenda, who will represent Chelsea next season, calling him an "extraordinary" player, also praising Eduardo Quaresma's performance.

"Quenda? In the first 15 minutes of the first half, he was a bit sleepy, but then he showed his above-average individual quality. For his tender age, he is clearly an extraordinary player. Happy to see him grow gradually and with the ambition to be better and better," he said in the flash interview, then focusing on the Leonine central defender.

"Maybe, with Rui Borges, it was when Quaresma had more consecutive games. He was a very important player last season and we believe in him a lot. He's playing in the position he likes, he had a solid game. I'm happy with his response, but nothing that surprises me, he has been working hard. Happy to be able to count on Quaresma, Zeno, Inácio, Matheus, Ousmane," he pointed out.

Rui Borges also spoke about the forwards he has at his disposal: "They all bring good dynamics. They are players who deserve to be recognized for everything they give to the team. Not only with Luis, Fotis will be the same, he adds a lot to the team, he will bring different things from Luis".

The coach of the green and white emblem praises the two strikers of the Alvalade Club: "I'm happy to be able to count on Luis Suárez and Fotis Ioannidis, they make their teammates stand out in their qualities," said the helmsman of the lions, who achieved his first victory in the Champions League in his career.
