Sporting responds to controversies, Frederico Varandas set to speak soon | OneFootball

The Sporting continues to refrain from commenting on recent events - whether regarding refereeing cases or the attempts of assault on Frederico Varandas in the Azores -, but the President of the lions is preparing to respond next Friday, November 14th.

The top leader of the green and whites is expected to have his first reactions on the sidelines of the Roars of the Lion gala, which will take place in Leira. After statements and words from rivals about the 11th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against Santa Clara, this will be the time for Varandas to speak out.

According to the newspaper Record, until the time of the Roars of the Lion - in which the leonine President usually gives a speech -, the Sporting Board does not intend to "create more noise" on the subject, as the controversy due to the goal that gave the lions victory against the Azoreans continues.

With the victory in the Azores – the 13th in 18 matches this season –, the team led by Rui Borges now has 28 points and is in second place in the Liga Portugal Betclic standings. Porto (31) is in first place, while Benfica closes the podium (25).

The green and white emblem will return to the field only on Saturday, November 22nd, against Marinhense. The match, counting for the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Rui Sacramento, will be played at 6:00 PM in Alvalade.
