Sofia Oliveira says Sporting star was below par: He started badly | OneFootball

In the aftermath of the match between Arsenal and Sporting (0-0), in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Sofia Oliveira believes that Geovany Quenda did not have a positive impact on the game. Even so, she puts that performance into context, taking into account the player’s long spell out of action.

, while also defending “the legitimacy of a coach’s decision when facing a tie against Arsenal without attacking alternatives of the same level”.

Despite her understanding, Sofia Oliveira has doubts about the Portuguese Under-21 international’s decision to choose Chelsea as his destination: “Quenda came on badly. It’s indisputable (...) I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think it’s a good choice either”, it can be read on the social network ‘X’.

Moreover, she once again recalled the criticism she made at the time of the signing of Souleymane Faye: “I expected Sporting to manage something better”, also adding that Daniel Bragança “came on badly as well. And he had already put in a poor performance against Estrela”.

The green-and-white side return to the pitch next Sunday, April 19, against Benfica. The match, for matchday 30 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team coached by José Mourinho, will be played at 6:00 pm at the Estádio José Alvalade.
