Rui Borges deserves credit at Sporting, says Ribeiro, but… | OneFootball

After having doubted the Lions' advancement to the Champions League quarter-finals, Bernardo Ribeiro left positive notes on the work of Rui Borges in the match against Bodo/Glimt, in the second leg of the prestigious tournament's round of 16.

"I think there's a lot of credit to the coach, just as I thought there was some discredit in the way Sporting approached the game against Bodo/Glimt in the first leg. It was exactly the opposite in this game," he said to Jornal Record.

The director of the same media outlet also praised the Club's efforts to promote this game. "The structure and communication were committed, which made the public get involved. Sporting created an atmosphere for this to happen," he expressed.

He concluded by saying that Sporting gave no chances to the opponent. "Sporting played an astonishing game from all points of view, it wasn't just a good game, Sporting crushed Bodo/Glimt, which was almost non-existent," he concluded.

It is worth noting that Sporting already knows the dates for the 'quarters' against Arsenal. The first match will be in Lisbon, at the José Alvalade Stadium, on April 7th, starting at 8:00 PM. The second leg will be played in England, at the "Gunners'" ground, on April 15th, also at 8:00 PM.
