Rui Borges outcast returns, hails Sporting youngster as mature | OneFootball

Even though he is currently integrated into the green and white B team, Jeremiah St. Juste shows he remains connected to the main group. The Dutch defender closely followed the match between Napoli and Sporting, held last Wednesday, October 1st, and did not miss the opportunity to highlight João Simões' performance, whom he publicly praised after the game.

The young midfielder of the green and whites was one of the main highlights of Rui Borges' team - who chose to place the player in the starting eleven in Italy. In the 18-year-old footballer's post made after the match, St. Juste showed his support.

"Great attitude, we want more! The journey continues," wrote João Simões, with the Dutch defender's comment standing out: "Mature," it can be read in the player's post through his personal Instagram account.

It's worth remembering that Jeremiah St. Juste has been going through a difficult time at Sporting. After rejecting several offers to leave the Club, the Dutchman was relegated to the B team and lost his access to the players' box at the Estádio de Alvalade. More recently, he also lost locker number three in the Sporting dressing room.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, João Simões - valued at 6 million euros - has played three matches. At the start of the season, the midfielder trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy has 81 minutes: 78 in the Champions League and two in the League. It's worth recalling that the 'number 52' of the lions recently returned from a long injury layoff.
