Zeno Debast makes revelation about Sporting squad | OneFootball

Sporting shared, last Wednesday, October 29, the latest episode of the series 'A Day with' which, this time, features Zeno Debast. The Belgian international - who is currently sidelined due to injury -, introduced himself to the green and white fans and showcased his life, both inside and outside the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

In this episode, which was recorded before the Lions' debut in the current edition of the Champions League, against Kairat, the Lions' 'number 6' talked about his arrival at the Alvalade Club, still in the last season: "When I arrived at Sporting, the atmosphere was very positive not only in the team but also in the club. Everyone involved with Sporting is very positive and supports the players. It's like a big family", he began by saying.

"In the beginning, it was strange to be alone in a foreign country, speaking another language and having made my first transfer to another team, because I had never played for another club besides Anderlecht or Halle, my first team. The fans supported me a lot, it was quite easy to integrate", he also confessed.

Next, Debast talked about what Sporting fans can expect from 2025/26: "This season will be good for us. In the League, we will try to win every game, be good as a team and also enjoy it because it's important. Fun comes with victories. Then we have the Champions where we will try to show our level".

When showing how he usually ends his days, the Belgian revealed that he likes to go to the beach to have a coffee, at any time of the year, something Eduardo Quaresma cannot understand: "I really like the beach because it gives me peace. We go to the beach 2 or 3 times a week to relax a bit after training. We have a beach nearby. We like it a lot. When I arrived at Sporting, the first thing they showed me was this place. Edu [Quaresma] doesn't understand how I come to the beach in December (laughs)".

At the start of the season, Zeno Debast - valued at 30 million euros - has already played 13 official matches wearing the Sporting jersey. The Belgian international for the Lions records, so far, 855 minutes of play, but still without any goals or assists to his personal account.
