Sofia Oliveira admits Rui Borges' Sporting play great football | OneFootball

After the harsh criticism she has previously directed at Rui Borges, Sofia Oliveira offered praise to Sporting’s coach after the Lions’ most recent match against Estrela da Amadora last Sunday, November 30th (4-0). The CNN Portugal commentator appears to be delighted with the “tiki-taska.”

Luis Suárez reached nine goals in the league by scoring twice, in the 11th and 54th minutes, with defenders Eduardo Quaresma, in the 7th, and Ivan Fresneda, in the 25th, netting the remaining goals in the champions’ fourth consecutive win, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches.

The Alvalade club thus reached 31 points, three fewer than Porto (34), who beat Estoril Praia by the narrowest of margins (1-0), while Estrela da Amadora remains in 14th place with 11 points, returning to defeat after two consecutive matches earning points.

It’s worth recalling that the commentator has always been critical of Rui Borges since he arrived at Alvalade. Sofia Oliveira even went so far as to call the coach of the green and white emblem a “bumpkin” and a “tavern animal”, even before the coach had become national champion.

The green and white side will return to the pitch next Friday, December 5th, against Benfica. The match, counting for the 13th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by José Mourinho, will be played at 8:15 pm at Estádio da Luz.
