Rui Borges: "FC Porto top on merit" | OneFootball

In an interview, the participant made three wishes for the new year, expressed his desire to continue at the club, and commented on who plays the best football in Portugal, as well as comparing Gyokeres and Suárez.

Three wishes for the new year: “I don't know how to answer that, honestly. For now, to continue at Sporting, because I am very happy where I am. I am lucky to do what I love most at a great club. The rest is work. Believing a lot in our work and growth as a coaching team. We want to make history at Sporting and we want to fight for everything, knowing that we won't always win. But that doesn't stop us from being a great team, a great squad, a great group, and a competent coaching team. My wish is really health to continue doing what I love most where I want and where I am.”

Who plays the best football in Portugal? “For me, it's easy to answer that and I've said it many times. The best will always be mine. But the best current team will be FC Porto, who are in first place. But even when we don't play well, I will always say mine. Even if we were in 15th or 16th place, I would say mine is the best. In terms of points, FC Porto is the best. They are in first place, having a great season, and I never take away their merit. I said it last year with us. This season, for now, it's FC Porto who are first, with all the merit. But I always look at my team as the best.”

Gyokeres and Suárez, who is better? “They are clearly different. They offer different things. I've talked about it and I won't go on much about Viktor. He is someone who has made history at Sporting and in the Portuguese league, and he will continue to make it for a long time. I believe that Luis, in his own way, will also make his mark at Sporting and nationally. They are different players. I am lucky to work with Viktor, Luis, and Fotis, who are two great forwards that bring a lot to the team.”
