Rui Borges slammed for Sporting v Porto presser: talk for diehards | OneFootball

In an analysis of the conference held by Rui Borges after the Sporting - Porto (1-0), valid for the first leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, Eduardo Moreira, football coach and commentator, argues that a large part of the statements made by the Sporting coach were "talk for fans or fanatics".

"At least we can have here two statements more connected to the game itself. Everything else is more of the same, it's talk for fans or fanatics", Eduardo Moreira began by saying in a comment on the A Bola channel.

Regarding a more tense aspect, the coach also addressed what was said by Farioli, also after the game, and Rui Borges's subsequent response: "I also find it curious that in the midst of all this, no one is to blame, that is, the one who brings up the subject is not to blame, the one who follows the subject is also not to blame, the one who further inflames the discourse as if that were a problem is also not to blame. In the midst of all this, no one is to blame, and the confusion continues".

"I understand what it's like to be sitting there, I get it, it's not easy after a game and hearing certain things, but this is part of our preparation, our experience, and the path is also made with mistakes, it's necessary to admit them and take responsibility for them. When we sometimes slip into statements that are not exactly what we intended, there are other ways to feed the fans, so to speak, in the conferences", concluded Eduardo Moreira.
