Laurindo Filho questions Rui Borges over Sporting player: I disagree | OneFootball

The press conference of Rui Borges regarding Sporting’s upcoming trip to the north of the country to face Arouca has already sparked controversy. Laurindo Filho, coach and commentator, doubts that Morten Hjulmand has been in top form since joining the Lions.

“It’s interesting to claim that Hjulmand is better than ever. I am not someone who particularly agrees with that statement from the coach, but he’s the one working with Hjulmand day in and day out, so he must know why he says it,” he said in an interview with the newspaper A Bola.

The coach of Feirense’s women’s team also spoke about the difficulties that the Alvalade club may face tomorrow. “It’s a very different game from the one against PSG, also a very different competition, and everything that will be part of the match will be extremely important in determining the result, namely the weather conditions and the state of the pitch.”

Rui Borges has three pieces of good news for this match. Forward Pote and center-back Ousmane Diomande are returning from muscle injuries and will be available on the bench, and Souleymane Faye, who is now registered in the league, could make his debut wearing the Lions’ shirt.

Sporting will be back on the pitch next Saturday, January 24th, against Arouca. The match, part of the 19th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team managed by Vasco Seabra, will be played at 6:00 PM at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca.
