Tito Arantes Fontes, a member of Sporting and former president of the Stromp Group, commented this Thursday on FC Porto's 1-0 victory over Santa Clara in the Azores, to highlight the point difference between the Dragons and the Lions in the fight for the national title. In his opinion article in Jornal Sporting, the Sporting associate mentioned what he considers to be ‘gifts’ offered to the team led by Francesco Farioli.
“Meanwhile, the current league leader brought three points from their trip to the Azores in this last round of the first half of the season, thanks to a gift – yet another this season! – with which Santa Clara decided to favor FC Porto! We don't know why, but we notice that, this season, FC Porto is collecting gifts of this kind… Tondela, Arouca, now in the Azores! A corollary of this authentic “festival of gifts” is that we are – now, with the first half of the Championship concluded – seven points behind the lead,” pointed out Arantes Fontes, before praising the team led by Rui Borges, despite the recent setback against Vitória SC in the League Cup semi-finals.
