Sporting star on track for the best season of his career | OneFootball

Despite receiving many criticisms in his early days at Alvalade, Francisco Trincão managed to bounce back and is on track for the best season of his career, having the most prolific start since he became a professional footballer.

At the moment, Trincão manages to shake the opponent's nets every 126 minutes of play. Compared to the Portuguese international's best records, the time is halved: 248 minutes was the left-footed player's record in previous seasons.

Francisco Trincão started the season in great shape and, if he maintains the pace, he could even have the best individual season of his career, beating 2024/25. Last year, the green and white destabilizer scored 11 goals and 17 assists over 54 games.

“I'm not surprised at all and I'm happy for Trincão, but he has to give even more, and I'm not just talking about goals,” said Rui Borges, Sporting's coach, at the end of the match against Kairat, in which the lions' forward scored twice - and which resulted in a lost award to a Ruben Amorim's outcast.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Francisco Trincão - valued at 35 million euros - has played seven matches. At the start of this season, the Portuguese international forward started in all official games, where he has already registered five goals and one assist.
