Trincão on chat with Amorim before Sporting move: "Relief" | OneFootball

Francisco Trincão is the latest guest on the podcast 'Expresso Geração 90', hosted by Júlia Palha. During a long conversation, the Sporting winger recalled the conversation with Ruben Amorim when he wanted to secure his future at the Alvalade club, remembering that he was not happy in England.

"At the time, when coach Amorim spoke to me and said he wanted me to come back to Sporting and be his player, it was a bit of a relief because at the time I was in England and feeling a bit down. I immediately felt motivated, it was right in March. From then on, I think my mentality changed and I became completely different and eager to return. Having a lot of family who support Sporting helped me make the decision. I think it was the best step I could have taken," he began to recall.

When asked about the most difficult moment of his career, Trincão recalled his time in the United Kingdom, but also at Alvalade: "Outside of football, I would say it was in England, it was the place where I felt most different from what I was used to. In football terms, maybe it was the time when I was at Sporting and wasn’t playing as much. It was a bit of a difficult period."

Then, the Portuguese international commented on whether he sees himself at Sporting for many years, something about which he had no doubts: "Yes. I’m already going into my 4th season, the life you have here is not bad at all. I have a pretty good life, I’m privileged, so yes."

Still related to Sporting, Francisco Trincão was asked to choose between his most memorable goal or play, but he chose another answer: "The only memorable things were being champion and the celebration at Marquês. It’s something you can’t explain. There, there’s no tiredness, if you have a beer or two, the tiredness is gone. It’s a completely unique feeling. It’s always impactful. The second time was even better than the first."
