Sporting boss keeps focus on Champions League, competitive and capable | OneFootball

Rui Borges remains confident for what's left of the Champions League. Despite having lost 2-1 in the match against Napoli this Wednesday, October 1, the Sporting coach believes that the lions are ready to achieve great results in UEFA's millionaire competition.

“We will be competent and competitive, we will always want to divide the game. We know we will face great opponents like today, but we also have this team, this individuality, this collective above all,” he began by saying in the flash interview for Sport TV.

Next, Rui Borges expressed pride in his players' performance: “Today, more than anything else, it is to emphasize the pride I have in the group I lead. Everyone gave a fantastic response. We have 26 or 27 connected players and everyone knows they will be important. And that makes me happy”.

“The team will always give a fantastic image. What happened today makes me very confident - but I already was - for the future. We will have less successful games, it's part of it, but this makes me confident for the future,” concluded the Sporting coach.

The green and white emblem will return to the field only next Sunday, October 5, 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 Alvalade Stadium, at 7:15 pm.
