Sporting star's words confuse fans: keep this up, we'll turn it round | OneFootball

Gonçalo Inácio sought to convey calm after Sporting’s draw against Arouca, but he did not hide the fact that the sending-off of Zeno Debast ended up affecting the team. The Lions were 2-0 up, but allowed the opponent to fight back and once again let a lead slip away.

Asked about the team’s current situation, the Sporting captain gave a statement that ended up confusing the fans: "Nothing is going on. If we keep going like this, we’ll turn things around." The phrase "if we keep going like this" sounds somewhat strange, given that Sporting have already recorded three draws after being in front and once again wasted a two-goal lead.

Before that, Inácio had explained what, in his view, was behind the outcome against Arouca. "When we were down to 10 men, we couldn’t press as high and we couldn’t stop their moves," the centre-back explained.

Even so, Inácio tried to dismiss any alarmist scenario and showed confidence in the team’s ability to respond, despite the recent results.
