Paulo Catarro slams Sporting player: shouldn't have made squad | OneFootball

Paulo Catarro strongly criticized Rui Borges’ management at Sporting, especially the way the coach handled Luis Suárez in the match against Estrela da Amadora. The commentator felt there was no justification for using the Colombian forward, given the circumstances throughout the week.

“There was absolutely no justification for Suárez to even be in the squad, let alone come into the Sporting team,” he said on the 'NOW' channel, questioning the coach’s decision to bring the player on in the second half of the match in Reboleira.

For the commentator, the choice made by the coach ended up having consequences within the game itself. Paulo Catarro believes Rui Borges ended up facing the effects of the decisions he made before and during the match, after Sporting threw away a two-goal lead and allowed Estrela to come back.

“The coach only reaped what he had sown throughout the week and during the game,” he said, in a direct criticism of the Sporting coach’s management. The draw (2-2) left Sporting with just one point in their Liga opener, after a second half in which the team lost control of the match.
