Eduardo Quaresma could cause major headaches for Sporting after Bayern | OneFootball

Eduardo Quaresma finished the Bayern Munich - Sporting match completely exhausted. Rui Borges once again started the young defender in the match valid for the sixth round of the Champions League, with him being substituted in the final phase of the encounter.

The 'number 72' left the field around the 80th minute, with Georgios Vagiannidis coming on in his place. Quaresma showed significant fatigue in the middle of the second half, which ultimately led to him not finishing the match on the field.

At the end of the match, the performance of the young Sporting player still earned him positive comments from Rui Borges, who was quite pleased with what he saw: “We don't play with three central defenders, just in terms of player positions. I even wanted Edu Quaresma to be more as a three and he rarely was, because he was always as a full-back and that's our game plan. That's what I asked of him and he played a great game.”

The green and white team will return to the field next Saturday, December 13th, against AFS, in a match for the 14th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by João Pedro Sousa will be played at 8:30 PM, in Alvalade.

This sports season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Eduardo Quaresma - valued at 17 million euros - has only played nine matches. In this season's start, the player participated in a total of 598 minutes, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
