Expert tells Sporting and Porto presidents to keep quiet for a bit | OneFootball

The first semi-final match of the Portuguese Cup between Sporting and Porto led to the presidents of the two clubs exchanging barbs after the duel at Alvalade. Francisco Vaz de Miranda criticizes Frederico Varandas and André Villas Boas in his opinion piece titled "Just Be Quiet for a Moment, Please".

"Worse than the poor spectacle on the pitch was the sad return to the old days of Portuguese football afterwards. We can't escape this sick cycle of comments about refereeing, subtle ironies about it through X, and provocative newsletters", he said to the newspaper 'A Bola'.

The journalist extends this problem to the "big three". "The complaints from the big three this season have reached surreal levels and there's a big problem: we're still in March, with a third of the season ahead and much to be decided. Imagine where this could lead", he expressed.

Francisco Vaz de Miranda strongly targeted the president of the dragons. "André Villas-Boas, using the ugly gesture of Luis Suárez as bait to give his view on Cláudio Pereira's work, days after the victory over Arouca fell from the sky near the end with a penalty on Seko Fofana that left more doubts than certainties. The breath of fresh air that AVB was supposed to bring after decades of Pinto da Costa has long been forgotten", it can be read.

Nuno Raposo was another journalist who lamented what happened after the game. "Unlike what happened on the field, the comments at the end of the game, made by the club presidents, deserve to be archived and are not an example to follow. They are not an example for fans and even less for players", he said.
