Fátima Pinto spoke for the first time, more openly, about her departure from Sporting, in remarks where she did not hold back in criticizing some of the processes she experienced at the Alvalade club. The Portuguese international, currently playing for Strasbourg, made it clear that the decision to leave was not taken lightly.
"I’m not hurt by Sporting, because the club is much bigger than that. It’s some of the people there and the way they managed things which, in my opinion, was not the most correct," the player told 'Flashscore', also explaining that her departure last summer came as the natural consequence of a process in which she no longer identified with the way some situations were being handled.
In France, the footballer says she has found a more stable environment focused on growth, where she feels her opinion is valued: "Here they listen to us and want to improve our conditions," highlighting the contrast with the reality she left behind at Alvalade.
For the Sporting team, over eight seasons, Fátima Pinto played 186 matches, in which she scored 32 goals and provided five assists. She won two national championships, three Super Cups and two Portuguese Cups while playing for the green-and-white side.
