Jaime Cancella de Abreu says Sporting’s key figure is shielded by the press | OneFootball

Jaime Cancella de Abreu criticized the coverage in the media regarding Sporting's 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich. The Benfica supporter recalls that, last season, the Eagles lost at the Allianz Arena by the narrowest of margins and pointed out that the treatment given to Bruno Lage at the time and to Rui Borges now is different.

“The media is just like the referees. The criteria change depending on the colors. Just like Bruno Lage, Rui Borges set up an ultra-defensive tactical system (is there any other way for a Portuguese team to play at the home of the mighty Bayern?)” he questioned.

The supporter of the club from Luz said he is now curious to see which players Rui Borges will use in the next round of the National Championship: “Next weekend we’ll see which of the Sporting players, who didn’t play ‘due to injury’, will or will not play at the weekend.”

Jaime Cancella de Abreu maintains that “just like Bruno Lage, Rui Borges naturally lost to Bayern, and even lost by two,” while “Bruno Lage suffered a narrow defeat.” However, he says that Rui Borges’ defeat “was whitewashed to such an extent that it almost seemed like a moral victory. They didn’t win, but it was as if that had been the result,” he criticized.
