Trincão makes surprise appearance before Sporting v Club Brugge | OneFootball

In addition to Rui Borges and Iván Fresneda, who were the spokespersons for Sporting in the preview of the match against Club Brugge for the Champions League, the Artur Agostinho Auditorium at the José Alvalade Stadium also had another prominent presence: Francisco Trincão.

The Portuguese international, accompanied by Luís Neto, sat in the front rows to listen to what the coach and his teammate had to say before the Champions League clash. In this case, Trincão ended up hearing Rui Borges talk about his contract renewal with Sporting, which has been a topic due to the possible increase in his salary.

"I don’t need to say it, he knows what the confidence of the coaching staff and the manager is. He’s having a great season, perhaps his best. I’m happy about that. We believe we have some merit in that regard. I feel he is focused, regardless of the renewal. Besides, he has a contract and will be here for the next few years spreading magic," said Rui Borges about Trincão’s situation.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Francisco Trincão – valued at 35 million euros – has played 17 matches. The Portuguese international forward has started in almost every official game. So far, he has recorded seven goals and three assists to his name.

Sporting will be back on the pitch this Wednesday, November 26, against Club Brugge. The match, counting for the fifth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Nicky Hayen, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium at 8:00 p.m.
