Villas-Boas mocks Sporting: “We’ll control the temperature” | OneFootball

Sporting's trip to Estádio do Dragão on February 9 led the Lisbon club to issue harsh criticisms of FC Porto and file a complaint against the blue and whites for incidents that occurred during and after the derby of the 21st round of the League.

This Saturday, André Villas-Boas highlighted, in the editorial of the magazine Dragões, the renovation plan of Estádio do Dragão, «scheduled for completion in August», and took the opportunity to throw some jabs at the management of the Lisbon rival.

«While we fight on and off the field, we continue to build the club's future with concrete works and strategic vision. The renovation plan of Estádio do Dragão is underway, scheduled for completion in August. A plan that includes significant improvements in terms of comfort and services provided to members and fans, as well as better ambient temperature control for the most demanding visitor, with an important enhancement in interior design, modernizing the space without losing identity and without offending the sensitivities of the more sensitive», Villas-Boas remarked, alluding to the alleged episode of the air conditioning being on full blast in the lions' locker room and the newspaper covers and alleged inscriptions on its walls.

«The Dragão is our home. And our home must reflect who we are: demanding, modern, ambitious but true to ourselves. That's why today I feel immense pride in being a Porto supporter. In knowing who we are and where we are going. In knowing what we represent and valuing what we have. And in being fully aware that here, every move, every game, every victory, every title is much more than sport. It is identity. It is resilience. It is culture. It is history. It is FC Porto», concluded AVB.
