Exclusive Leonino - Frederico Varandas and the rest of Sporting's management immune to recent criticisms

Rui Costa has been repeatedly stating since the end of last season that Sporting has been favored by the referees. Frederico Varandas and the rest of the Club de Alvalade's management are not at all concerned about the rival's complaints, Leonino knows.

In recent months, the top official of Benfica has pointed the finger, on several occasions, in the direction of the lions, but the criticisms do not affect the work that has been done by both the President of Sporting and Rui Borges, who remain calm and immune to the words of the high official of the eagles.

As our newspaper has found out, Frederico Varandas believes that this is a strategy used by the reds, in order to be able to influence the referees and disguise the poor results achieved by Benfica in football in recent years, despite the many millions spent.

In the press conference previewing the match of the eighth round of the Portuguese League, the coach of the lions was precisely asked about Rui Costa's words, but the helmsman of the Alvalade team kicked the topic aside and left the rival talking to himself.

The 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.
