Rui Borges takes a swipe at Porto ahead of Sporting clash: It is what it is | OneFootball

Rui Borges finds no reason to complain about Porto regarding the league schedule. The green and white coach was present at the press conference previewing the Sporting – Estrela da Amadora match, part of the 12th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, which will take place on November 30 at Estádio de Alvalade, at 6:00 PM.

The Sporting coach was asked about the latest controversy in Portuguese football, which concerns criticism made by Porto regarding the scheduling of Portuguese football. André Villas-Boas, it should be remembered, was once very critical of the Alvalade club in his statements.

"It's not about being satisfied. It was set, we already played less than 48 hours later for the League Cup and we didn't complain. FC Porto postponed, now they have one more. It is what it is", Rui Borges began by explaining, thus demystifying the whole controversy around the topic.

The Sporting coach continued, not wanting to use the number of games as an excuse: "Finding solutions above all else. The player wants to play, they want to play every two days, they just want the ball. I won't go on much more about that".

Regarding the next league match, Rui Borges made one thing clear: "The message is 'E. Amadora.' We haven't talked about anything else, it's the next game. As Pote used to say, our Champions League is the league. We played a good game, but it was just one game. Now we focus on Estrela. That's it. We don't talk about anything else".
