João Simões was accepted at the Faculty of Human Kinetics, having attended his first day of classes in higher education. On the way, the Sporting midfielder spoke about his journey at Alvalade and said he has several role models among the Sporting squad, with the main one being Francisco Trincão.

João Simões: "Trincão? He knows how to talk to people, I wish I could speak the way he does"

There are usually a lot of people there, I always try to stop. It’s a small gesture we can make that makes a lot of people happy. I have been, and still am, a fan and until recently I used to go to the stands and watch all the games at the Academy,” he began by saying in an interview with Sporting TV.

“If it were me, I’d also like people to stop. The least I can do is this small action where I lose a few minutes and it can change someone’s day,” added João Simões, before saying that he doesn’t have the fame of some of the other Sporting players, such as Francisco Trincão.

“I’m also not very famous yet. Once I went with Trincão and he knows how to talk to people, I wish I could speak the way he does. I’m shyer, he’s more outgoing. I have to improve in that aspect,” concluded the 18-year-old central midfielder.
