Pote sparks debate among Sporting fans after win at Estoril | OneFootball

Tomás da Cunha addressed the Estoril - Sporting match, but it was the comments about Pote's performance that ended up standing out.

Tomás da Cunha analyzed the match between Sporting and Estoril, which the lions ended up winning, by 1-0. Beyond the expert's commentary on the seventh round of the National Championship, the fans of the Alvalade Club were frustrated with Pote's performance against the canaries.

"Without putting on a fantastic performance, the behavioral difference of Sporting 25/26 to that of 24/25 is noticeable in terms of managing the second halves. Suárez (today, above), Trincão and Pote continue to share the spotlight. Complete game from Maxi Araújo and Vagiannidis adding", he wrote.

Moreover, Tomás da Cunha's opinion on Pedro Gonçalves ended up creating some controversy among Sporting fans, who were not satisfied with the performance of the 'number 8' in the match - "I only disagree about Pote"; "Pote did not show up for the game"; "Pote was terrible, as he had been in the game against Famalicão". The comments 'forced' the sports commentator to explain that what he wrote about the Portuguese international extended to the entire start of the season.

With the victory in Amoreira – the seventh in nine matches this season –, the team led by Rui Borges have 18 points and are tied with Porto at the top of the Liga Portugal Betclic, but the dragons have one less game. Benfica is in third place with 17.

The green and white emblem will only return to the field next Wednesday, October 1, against Naples. The match, counting for the second round of the Champions League, against the team led by Antonio Conte, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, at 20:00.
