Sporting stalwart calls team talk as training resumes | OneFootball

Rui Borges took advantage of the Sporting team's return to work to set things straight with his squad. After three days off, with many players absent due to the international break, the coach of the lions wanted to send a message.

Before starting the training session, the coach of the green and whites chose to address the squad 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 urged everyone to 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 have a friendly match scheduled 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 frequently used players in the squad.

The green and white emblem will only return to the field on Saturday, October 18, 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.
