Salvador Blopa impresses at Sporting, promotion likely soon | OneFootball

Rui Borges has been keeping an eye on Salvador Blopa's performances in Sporting's B team. The winger of the secondary team of the lions has been standing out at the start of the season and could receive a 'promotion' from the coach of the A team if he maintains his good performances.

The right-back shone once again under João Gião's guidance. In the match against Portimonense last Sunday, September 14th, he came off the bench to replace José Silva and scored the goal that confirmed the lions' 2-1 victory, after a comeback in the final moments of the game.

Salvador Blopa has not only been making headlines at Sporting. At the beginning of September, the athlete was called up to the National Under-19 Team, where he scored in two of Portugal's three games in the Stevan Vilotic Tournament, against Hungary and Serbia.

The truth is that the good performances of the 18-year-old winger have not gone unnoticed by the coach of the main team of the lions, Rui Borges, who has already commented on the quality present in the B team: “We have a lot of faith in the B team, the start of the season has been very good. There's José Silva, Bruno Ramos... Guys who have been part of the team for a long time, last season. There's [Eduardo] Felicíssimo, Flávio [Gonçalves], Lucas Anjo, Mauro [Couto], Blopa... Rodrigo [Ribeiro] has been playing in the B team and training with us, he has grown a lot in a very short time.”

At the start of this season, Salvador Blopa has been one of the main highlights of Sporting's B team. Under João Gião's leadership, in Liga Portugal 2, the young right-back has already played five matches, scoring one goal in 300 minutes of play.
