Esgaio’s agency fires back at Rui Rocha over ex-Sporting post | OneFootball

The controversial post by Rui Rocha, former president of the Liberal Initiative, where he made a comparison between the prime minister, Luís Montenegro, and the former Sporting full-back, Ricardo Esgaio, received a subtle response from the footballer's communication agency.

On the social network Instagram, 'Image Eleven', which represents the player, shared an image featuring the winger dressed in the colors of Braga and Sporting, accompanied by the trophies won by the Portuguese under-21 international while playing for both clubs.

In the message accompanying the image, written in English, there is also a jab at the councilor in the Braga City Council: “More Reliable Than Rock.” In Portuguese, something like “More reliable than a rock”, alluding to the politician's surname.

It is worth recalling that the current head of Government's Christmas message asked for the “let it be” mentality to be replaced by the “Cristiano Ronaldo mentality,” of always playing to win, which prompted Rui Rocha's post (See HERE).

Ricardo Esgaio - valued at 800 thousand euros - ended a 17-year association with Sporting. The 'number 47' played a total of 192 games for the main team of the lions, where his two goals and 18 assists contributed to winning two Leagues, two Portuguese Cups, two Super Cups, and one League Cup.
