Sporting starter believes in three-peat: We're in a spot we don't deserve | OneFootball

Geny Catamo believes Sporting are still fully in the title race and considers that the current standings do not reflect the quality of the squad. As well as sending a warning to Arsenal, the winger showed confidence in the Lions’ ability to overtake the leaders and set his sights on winning a third consecutive title.

“The team is always motivated. We are aware that the final stage of the league is the most difficult because there are teams fighting to stay up and others fighting for the title. We are in a position we do not deserve, and we know that because our potential is very high. We believe the league is not over yet and that we will be able to turn things around,” said the Mozambique international in an interview with the newspaper of the Alvalade club.

The ‘number 10’ also highlighted the importance of April, a period in which Sporting will decide their future in all three competitions. “The group remains focused, we have a decisive month ahead and we have to prepare ourselves physically and psychologically. We know the potential of the group. We know it is possible to get good results in the matches we have coming up, but it will not be easy,” he said, also making an appeal to the fans: “Keep getting behind us. We need your energy.”

Enjoying the best season of his career, with eight goals and four assists, Geny Catamo said he was proud of his progress and recalled a memorable moment: his brace against Benfica in 2023/24. “It is always special to play against big teams. I never imagined scoring two goals and giving Sporting the win. I cannot really explain the first goal, which came in the very first minute. The second came at the end... I felt like a fierce lion,” he recalled.

The Mozambique international also spoke about the path to establishing himself at Alvalade, after loan spells and a difficult period at Marítimo. “I had some bad luck with injuries. I spent almost the whole season struggling with physical issues, but Marítimo helped me psychologically, just like Sporting did. They advised me to bring my wife to Portugal and, from that point on, everything changed. I scored right away and managed to complete several matches,” he concluded.
