Geovany Quenda handed new role at Sporting for the Champions League | OneFootball

Sporting has already chosen Pote's replacement for the Sporting - Club Brugge match: Geovany Quenda. Rui Borges intends to adapt the 'number 7' of the lions for the Champions League match, after having already tested this possibility when he came on against Marinhense.

Therefore, the Portuguese under-21 international is expected to occupy the left side of the attack, emerging as a natural option to Pedro Gonçalves, who is still sidelined due to injury. Francisco Trincão might continue behind Luis Suárez, while Geny Catamo maintains his starting position on the right.

In the Portuguese Cup match, Quenda came on only in the 67th minute, replacing Alisson Santos. The time he spent on the field proved more than enough to bring greater dynamism to the left wing, at a time when the Marinhense players were already showing fatigue.

This time, the 18-year-old star even provided the assist to seal the final score at 3-0, for the goal by the Colombian international. Besides that play, until the end of the match, the winger created several understanding plays with Suárez - a partnership that will be on display in the Champions League.

The young 18-year-old seized the opportunity and quickly delivered a precise left-footed cross that allowed Luis Suárez to score the 3-0. Until the end of the match, the winger created other understanding plays with the Colombian forward, showing the coach that this partnership can work in the Champions League.
