On social media, Sofia Oliveira targeted the choices of Rui Borges, Sporting’s coach, for the decisions he made against Porto.
Sofia Oliveira once again delivered harsh criticism of Rui Borges for the options he took in the Clássico, which was ultimately won by Porto (2-1) against Sporting. On social media, the commentator targeted the coach of the Lions for continuing to start Iván Fresneda and Geny Catamo.
“It’s almost comical that it took 63 minutes to realize that the Vagiannidis/Quenda duo was the only one capable of being at the level of this game,” she wrote on the social network ‘X’ (formerly Twitter). Georgios Vagiannidis and Geovany Quenda were brought on minutes after the first goal of the match, scored by Luuk de Jong (61’).
As our newspaper exclusively revealed, Chelsea is not at all pleased with the way Rui Borges is managing Geovany Quenda. The English club is unhappy with the few minutes given to the young winger trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, who was bought by the Blues from Sporting midway through last season.
Recently, Sofia Oliveira commented on the possibility of Jota Silva becoming a Sporting signing during this summer’s transfer window and ended up criticizing the Portuguese winger: “I’m not a big fan of Jota Silva. I don’t think he’ll have an impact at Sporting. He’s a very inconsistent player. He ruins several plays,” said the sports commentator.
The green and white club will only return to the field on the weekend of September 13/14, against Famalicão. The match, part of the fifth round of the National Championship, will be played in Minho against the team led by Hugo Oliveira, with the date and time yet to be determined.
