Rui Borges reveals which Sporting player impressed him most | OneFootball

Rui Borges, Sporting’s coach, gave a preview this Friday, March 6, of the 25th round of the Liga Betclic against Braga, to be played at Pedreira. Among several topics, the coach spoke about Francisco Trincão’s contract renewal, admitting that the winger was the player who impressed him the most.

"I focus a lot on the present. Regarding Francisco, I’m happy, as I’ve already said. He has been growing, is increasingly mature, and has enormous importance in Sporting’s achievements and in the team’s dynamics. Since I arrived, he’s been the player who impressed me the most. He gives a lot to the team beyond technical quality. He’s always engaged. He’s been growing and plays in several positions. I’m happy for him; he makes Sporting stronger. And for us, because we can continue to count on him for more years," he began by saying.

The coach also spoke about Hidemasa Morita, who is at the end of his contract: "We like him a lot, I’ve already said he’s a player who fascinates me. He’s in a good moment and is important right now," said the coach, who anticipates difficulties in the match.

"If Sporting wins, it does what it has to do. I said we wanted to have a better second half of the season than the first. We have to have an extraordinary second half, and for that, we have to win. More than the match between the two rivals, we have to do our part and then see the consequence of winning. If we don’t do our part, the results of others don’t matter at all. We have a tough game against a good team that will create many difficulties for us, and we’ll have to be at our best."
