Tomás da Cunha: Sporting starter steps up after rough patch | OneFootball

Tomás da Cunha shared his usual comments on the Moreirense - Sporting match, which the lions won 3-0. One of the players highlighted by the sports commentator was Francisco Trincão, who unlocked the game and was considered the man of the match, after a few games in poor form.

"One of the consequences of having two left-footers on the left (even with spatial and associative understanding) is the excessive search for crosses, in a team without specialists. Suárez loses options. The best period came right at the start, with Trincão approaching that corridor", he began writing during the match, on his 'X' platform account.

"He still tried some variations, but Sporting gave little to Catamo in the first half. A team accumulating chances without success cannot waste that relationship with the goal. Unlocked following a high recovery (serious play in reaction to loss). Trincão raises the level", emphasized Tomás da Cunha.

This season, playing for Sporting, Francisco Trincão – valued at 35 million euros – played 36 games: 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 3,029 minutes played, the forward scored eleven goals and provided eleven assists.

The green and white emblem returns to the field next Friday, February 27, against Estoril. The match, counting for the 24th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ian Cathro, will be played at 20:45, at the José Alvalade Stadium.
