Champions League rival, a Sporting fan, aims to win in Lisbon | OneFootball

Sporting will face very tough rivals in the Champions League, and the debut of the green and whites is getting closer

Jorginho, player of Kairat Almaty, does not hide his desire to come to Alvalade and beat Sporting in the Champions League. The Portuguese is one of the standout players of the Kazakh team, which achieved a historic qualification for the prestigious competition after overcoming four qualifying rounds. He is not the first to set the stage for the match against the lions.

The Portuguese forward, who admits that Sporting is his "childhood love," gave an exclusive interview to Notícias ao Minuto, where he discussed this encounter with the national champions: "It is impossible to hide that we are already thinking about it. I am ambitious and want this to become a regular thing. I will approach this game with the utmost naturalness because I want to get used to playing on these stages, to hear the anthem [of the Champions League]."

"Yes, I will enjoy it because this qualification took a lot out of us, only we know what it cost to be here. I will be serious and show that I want to be better than them," said Jorginho from Kairat Almaty, ambitious regarding the Kazakh team's aspirations in the Champions League.

Jorginho continued with some words about the match against the lions: "We are already sure of how we will approach the game, about the roles I will have on the field, but I don't want to go into details because people will understand our strategy. I want to play against Sporting and go there to win. We can't think of anything else. I'm not going to the Champions League to just be there. If that's the case, don't take me."

"The goal is game by game and then think about qualifying for the next stage, either through the playoffs or the top eight spots. We are going to try our luck, knowing that we are not favorites in anything, and that everyone thinks we will score zero points. We'll see...," said the player who once crossed paths with Pedro Gonçalves in the Sporting de Braga youth team.
