Matheus Reis: Allianz Cup key for Sporting, some players shine | OneFootball

Matheus Reis was chosen as Sporting’s spokesperson to preview the upcoming Allianz Cup semi-final against Vitória de Guimarães, scheduled for next Tuesday, January 6. The Brazilian assured that the recent victory (4-1) over the same team has already been forgotten.

“We faced V. Guimarães not long ago, but we know it will be a completely different game. It’s a semi-final, decisive, and we’ll be prepared to reach the final again,” began the ‘number 2’ of the green and whites in an interview with Liga TV, also assuring that Sporting’s goal is to win the trophy.

“We all want to play these games. We are a team that is used to fighting for titles and playing in big matches. We will be very well prepared,” emphasized Matheus Reis, who is expected to return to the starting lineup for Rui Borges’ team for this match.

“We will do everything to go after another title. We are used to competing for trophies and everyone wants to play in these games,” he added, before highlighting the importance for Sporting of winning the ‘winter champion’ title: “There are new players who have arrived and don’t have titles yet, so it will be important to gain more motivation for the rest of the season.”

The green and white badge will return to the field next Tuesday, January 6, against Vitória de Guimarães. The match, counting for the League Cup semi-final, against the team led by Luís Pinto, will be played at 8:00 PM at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, in Leiria.
