Rui Borges wants Geovany Quenda to occupy more central areas and play with more confidence. The coach of the green and white team recognizes numerous abilities in the Sporting winger and has a plan to make the most of his offensive qualities.
The first part of this plan, according to the newspaper A Bola, is to enhance the use of Geovany Quenda in more central areas of the field. The young green and white player earned a spot on the team, with Ruben Amorim, occupying the wing areas for Sporting, which also required various defensive actions in the 3x4x3 system.
The change in system implemented by Rui Borges has revealed other qualities of Geovany Quenda. Coach Rui Borges believes that the player can stand out in more advanced areas of the field, so the player has been used as a winger but often occupies central spaces instead of seeking the sideline - he is even starting to be seen as a good solution to replace Francisco Trincão, playing with the role of a number 10 in the Sporting team.
This measure is the first step to enhance Geovany Quenda's qualities, something the winger views positively. The other part of the plan involves giving the player confidence. Rui Borges has encouraged the product of the lions' academy to take risks, make decisions in the final third, and, above all, dribble and shoot more, without fear of taking risks.
The truth is that the plan seems to be working. Rui Borges has already seen Geovany Quenda surpass the number of goals he scored throughout last season, and the player, who even started the season as a substitute, seems to be increasingly important in Sporting's offensive process.
