Sporting key man calls for change: time to look within | OneFootball

Rui Silva, a Sporting player, addressed the Sporting universe this Thursday after the defeat in the Portuguese Cup Final, last Sunday, against Torreense. In this way, the goalkeeper joins other teammates who had already left a message for the fans.

Through a message shared on his social media, the starting goalkeeper of the green-and-white side admitted that the result was not the one they wanted to end the season with and took the opportunity to shift focus to what lies ahead.

“There are moments that demand reflection, introspection and commitment. We really wanted a different outcome. For us, for the group and for all the fans who were always there, in every moment, in every game. It is time to look inward, understand what we did well, correct what needs to be improved and turn this feeling into energy to come back stronger. Thank you all for your support”, said the Portuguese international.

With the season at the Alvalade club now over, Rui Silva, called up by coach Roberto Martínez to represent Portugal at the 2026 World Cup, now turns his attention to this final stage of the competition.

In Group K, Portugal will face Congo on June 17, Uzbekistan on June 23 and Colombia on June 28, in that order. Portugal’s ambition is to get past these teams and move on to the next stage.
