Sporting dressing room turns on Rui Borges after public swipe at Quaresma | OneFootball

After the 2-2 draw against Estrela da Amadora in the opening round of Liga Portugal Betclic, Rui Borges tore into the Sporting squad, singling out Eduardo Quaresma’s mistake in the tricolours’ first goal, something that did not go down well in the dressing room, according to Correio da Manhã.

The green-and-white squad was very unhappy with the coach’s public criticism, mainly because he blamed the centre-back for the mistake made in the build-up to the tricolours’ first goal, according to the same source.

"Quaresma could not stop in that move for the 2-1. I don't know if he stopped because we were winning 2-0. He played a terrific game, but ended up tainting it with an individual mistake. The stature of this club does not allow this kind of error; if we want to be champions, we have to do much more," he said in the post-match press conference.

Rui Borges has not yet made any tactical analysis of the draw with Estrela da Amadora to his players. That moment has been reserved for Tuesday, when the Alvalade side return to training at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

. The match, counting for the second round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Tiago Margarido, will be played at 8:15 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
