Tomás da Cunha impressed with starter: Improved almost every Sporting move | OneFootball

Sporting won at home against AFS, 6-0, in a match from the 14th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, played at Estádio José Alvalade. Luis Suárez, who scored twice in the victory over the team from Aves, was praised by Tomás da Cunha on social media for his performance.

"Suárez not only broke the deadlock but also improved practically every Sporting play (crucial in the 4-0, setting up Vagiannidis). The Greek has strong arguments with low crosses (better than Fresneda in that regard), and Maxi Araújo, in that role, enters the box aggressively," wrote the expert on the social network 'X'.

Even so, he pointed out that Maxi Araújo’s position does not favor the Uruguayan: "In terms of creativity, Maxi loses a lot in the space where he is playing, but Rui Borges chose it this way because Mangas needs to come from deep to the front. That’s how he contributed to Sporting’s first goal. The right side improved when Vagiannidis started to create imbalances on the outside," he wrote.

Furthermore, with the two goals scored in the last match, the striker reached 11 goals in 14 league rounds. An impressive record in his debut year, even surpassing Viktor Gyokeres’ numbers in the same period during his first season at Alvalade (Learn more HERE).

In 1,629 minutes, the striker has scored 14 goals and provided two assists.
