Sporting stalwart: Playing like this, we’ll be hard to beat | OneFootball

Despite Sporting's defeat against Napoli (2-1), Rui Borges made a point, still in the locker room of the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, to speak to the team to express his satisfaction with the attitude of all the players who took the field and gave motivation for the upcoming matches.

“Playing like this and with this personality, it will be difficult for anyone to beat us”, stated the coach of the green and whites, with this information being reported by the newspaper Record. Shortly after, when he proceeded to the press room, the Sporting coach reiterated his confidence in the team and pride after the match.

“I told them we could have committed a foul in the play that led to the 1-0, and in the second goal, we didn't control the depth well. We must always be attentive to everything. It just pains me to see how frustrated they were,” emphasized the leader of the green and white team to the journalists.

With the defeat in Naples, Sporting has three points in the Champions League and occupies the 14th place in the standings, being in a playoff spot for access to the next phase. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and PSG complete the podium, with six points.

Sporting will return to the field only next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, counting for the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium, at 7:15 PM.
