Revealed: Rui Borges' dressing room talk after Napoli v Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting lost in Naples, by 2-1, for the second matchday of the Champions League. Now, it is known what Rui Borges said to the green and white team at the end of the match, in the locker room of the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, after an unwanted result by the lions.

"Playing like this and with this personality, it will be hard for anyone to beat us", stated the coach of the green and whites, with this information being advanced by the Record newspaper. Shortly after, when he went to the press room, the lion's coach reaffirmed his confidence in the team and pride after the match.

"I told them that we could have fouled in the play that led to the 1-0 and in the second goal we didn't control the depth well. We must always be attentive to everything. It only hurts me to see how they left frustrated", Rui Borges reinforced with the journalists.

With the defeat in Naples, Sporting has three points in the Champions League and occupies the 14th place in the ranking table, being in a playoff place for access to the next phase. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and PSG complete the podium, with six points.

Sporting will return to the field only next Sunday, October 5, against Braga. The match, counting for the eighth matchday of the Portugal Betclic League, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium, at 7:15 pm.
