Rui Borges reveals why he 'favours' Luis Suárez | OneFootball

Rui Borges was once again questioned about how he chooses between Luis Suárez and Fotis Ioannidis for Sporting's attack. In the preview of the match against Alverca, valid for the League Cup, the Lions' coach explained the reason for opting more often for the Colombian forward.

"Suárez has been chosen more often, Fotis also arrived later... He has grown immensely, the group recognizes his quality. Luis has been responding well, Fotis too, he is very connected to Sporting and that is important. He is motivated, super happy, and knows he will have his opportunities. And Luis knows he has someone on his heels," he began by saying.

Next, Rui Borges explained the differences between the two: "Both have been responding well. They are different players, Fotis gives more depth, Luis gives us a support game, he has also improved in depth. But they are two great players who fortunately are on our side."

Currently, the green and whites occupy the second position in the National Championship table, with 22 points. Benfica is in third place, with 21, while the Porto team leads the competition with 25 points.

Sporting returns to the field next Friday, October 31st, against Alverca. The match, counting for the tenth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade, at 8:15 PM.
