Trincão inspires Sporting sub, wants to speak like him | OneFootball

A Sporting player admitted that he doesn't have the fame of other players from the lion emblem, such as Francisco Trincão

João Simões was accepted at the Faculty of Motor Skills, having attended his first day of higher education classes. On the journey, the Sporting midfielder talked about his path in Alvalade and said he has several references among the Sporting squad, the main one being Francisco Trincão.

“Usually there are quite a few people there, I always try to stop. It's a small gesture that we can make and that makes many people happy. I have been, and am, a fan and until recently I would go to the stands and watch all the games at the Academy”, he began in an interview with Sporting TV.

“If it were me I would also like them to stop. The least I can do is this small action where I lose a few minutes and that can change a person's day”, added João Simões, before admitting that he doesn't have the fame of other Sporting players, such as Francisco Trincão.

“I'm also not very famous yet. Once I went with Trincão and he knows how to talk to people, I would like to speak as he does. I'm more shy, he is more outgoing. I need to improve in this aspect”, concluded the 18-year-old central midfielder.

This season, with the Sporting jersey, João Simões - valued at 6 million euros - has played two matches. At the start of this season, the midfielder trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy has only three minutes: two in the Champions and another in the League. It's worth remembering that the 'number 52' of the lions recently returned from a long injury break.
