Despite being relegated to the secondary squad of the lions, Jeremiah St. Juste continues to show that he hasn't distanced himself from the main team. The Dutchman was attentive to the Napoli - Sporting match last Wednesday, October 1st, even making a point to praise João Simões.

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 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 tough 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 Estádio de Alvalade. More recently, he also lost locker number three in the lions' locker room.

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