Nuno Raposo after Sporting v Porto: Everyone needs chicken soup | OneFootball

The first leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-final between Sporting and Porto was marked by conflicts between the presidents after the classic, with heated exchanges of words and promises of complaints to the Disciplinary Council. Nuno Raposo suggests that the big three should do the same as Rui Borges did after the match.

"Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to follow what Rui Borges did at the end of the Cup classic and all have some chicken soup to settle their stomachs and clear their minds. We’d all benefit", he said in his opinion column "Nunca mais é sábado" in the newspaper ‘A Bola’.

The journalist left some criticism for the words of Frederico Varandas. "Varandas was harsh, very harsh, at a certain point it was clear he went much further than he intended to. It didn’t help. But he was responding to what seems to have become a habit lately for the blue and whites," it reads.

Nuno Raposo also didn’t forget Benfica’s approach. "And by the way, Benfica too, for having a script in which criticism of refereeing is always present, with or without reason, with or without justification. It’s always there, and if it’s not, the actors will end up there even unconsciously," he wrote.
