Tomás da Cunha highlights Sporting’s change in attitude under Rui Borges | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Estoril, 1-0, in a match valid for the seventh round of the National Championship. Through his account on the platform 'X', Tomás da Cunha commented on the Lions' match, in which he ended up mentioning what he considers to be a "behavioral difference" in Rui Borges' team regarding game management.

"Without putting on a fantastic display, the behavioral difference between Sporting 25/26 and 24/25 is clear when it comes to managing the second halves. Suárez (today, above), Trincão, and Pote continue to share the spotlight. A complete game from Maxi Araújo and Vagiannidis adding up," he wrote.

Furthermore, Tomás da Cunha's opinion about Pedro Gonçalves ended up creating some controversy among Sporting fans, who were not satisfied with the performance of the 'number 8' in the match – "I only disagree regarding Pote"; "Pote didn't show up for the game"; "Pote was horrible, just like in the match against Famalicão." The comments 'forced' the sports commentator to explain that what he wrote about the Portuguese international applied to the entire start of the season.

With the victory at Amoreira – the seventh in nine matches this season – Rui Borges' men now have 18 points and are tied with Porto at the top of the Liga Portugal Betclic, but the Dragons have one game less. Benfica is in third place with 17.

The green and white team will only take the field again next Wednesday, October 1st, against Napoli. The match, valid for the second round of the Champions League, against the team led by Antonio Conte, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at 8:00 p.m.
