Rui Borges’ message to the squad revealed after Sporting-Braga draw | OneFootball

The main team of Sporting returned to work last Thursday, October 9th, after three days off. Despite not having all its players due to the international break, Rui Borges took the opportunity to deliver a very clear message to his squad.

Before starting the training session, the coach of the green and whites chose to address the team and discussed everything that went wrong in the draw against Braga (1-1), as well as quickly pointing to Sporting's next goal, which is the third round match of the Portuguese Cup.

According to the newspaper Record, Rui Borges emphasized that everyone should face the Liga 2 opponent with the utmost respect, as the trip to their ground is traditionally challenging.

It is worth noting that Sporting also is expected to schedule a friendly match for one of the upcoming training sessions, but the chosen opponent is not yet known. The coaching staff's goal is to give minutes to the less utilized players in the squad.

The green and white emblem will only return to the field on Saturday, October 18th, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, part of the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 PM.
