Carlos Severino on St. Juste saga: Sporting isn’t a charity | OneFootball

Carlos Severino addressed the saga surrounding Jeremiah St. Juste. In an exclusive interview with our newspaper, the former presidential candidate sees the demotion of the center-back to the B team as natural, following a controversy in which the player posted a statement on his social media, which has already received a response from the Alvalade Club.

“Since Jeremiah St. Juste has been at Sporting, he has spent almost two years injured. In fact, Sporting is not a charity, nor can it be. Naturally, if the player is not consistently available and there is no consistency in his participation with the team, Sporting does not need a player under those conditions,” he began by saying.

In addition to the various physical problems, Carlos Severino mentions Rui Borges’ new system as a factor in St. Juste’s loss of space: “He is one less option for Sporting. With the arrival of Rui Borges and his new system, Sporting does not need so many center-backs and I even agree with what the President said, he is the fifth center-back.”

In conclusion, the former Communications Director of Sporting admits that this situation is unpleasant for all parties and hopes it will be resolved as soon as possible: “This was unnecessary. He did not accept the proposals that were made and naturally moved to the B team, which is a professional team. He has a professional contract with Sporting, so there is nothing illegal about it.”

“It is not a pleasant situation, neither for him nor for Sporting, and I hope it is resolved as quickly as possible, as there are still open markets. It is an unpleasant situation for everyone, but the player has to understand that, at this moment, he is no longer useful to Sporting,” concluded Carlos Severino.
