Rui Borges takes a swipe at Porto ahead of Sporting clash: it is what it is | OneFootball

Rui Borges finds no reason to complain about Porto regarding the championship schedule. The green and white coach was present at the press conference previewing the Sporting – Estrela da Amadora match, the 12th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, which will take place on November 30th at the Estádio de Alvalade, at 18:00.

The Sporting coach was questioned about the latest controversy in Portuguese football, which involves criticisms made by Porto regarding the scheduling of Portuguese football. André Villas-Boas, it should be remembered, was very critical of the Alvalade Club in his statements.

"It's not about being satisfied. It was set, we played less than 48 hours later for the League Cup and we didn't complain. FC Porto postponed, they have another one now. It is what it is", explained Rui Borges, thus demystifying the entire controversy surrounding the topic.

The Sporting coach continued, not wanting to make the number of games an excuse: "Finding solutions more than anything else. The player wants to play, they want to play every 2 days, they want the ball. I won't elaborate much on that".

Regarding the next championship match, Rui Borges left a certainty: "The message is 'E. Amadora'. We didn't talk about anything else, it's the next game. As Pote said, our Champions is the championship. We played a good game, but it was just one game. Now it's focusing on Estrela. Just that. We don't talk about anything else".
