Sporting outcast shares message of despair: God, give me strength

Removed from Sporting's main team and currently training with the club's secondary squad, Jeremiah St. Juste has shown he is doing 'extra' work outside the Alvalade Club. The player has been getting help from a personal trainer and has even started... doing pilates.

In his latest social media post, the Dutchman showcased the physical exercises he has been performing, along with several motivational messages. One of them reads: "Give me strength, God. I want to be better."

It should be remembered that St. Juste was entering the last year of his contract this summer, so Sporting made every effort to sell his pass. Interested parties emerged, with Osasuna and Union Berlin leading the way, but the player ultimately did not accept the proposed terms and preferred to stay at Alvalade.

Sporting then demoted the central defender to the B team, where he has been under the orders of João Gião. Despite the commitment he has shown, he has not yet been part of the green and white coach's choices, something that is unlikely to happen in the future.

Alongside this situation, and eager to gain playing time - partly due to the fragile physical condition he has shown - St. Juste now seems willing to give in and leave Sporting in the winter, which would allow him to return to the field and also free the Alvalade Club from his financial burdens, as the defender earns about 3.2 million euros per season.
