Bruno Tabata won the national title with Sporting in 2020/21 and, although he never managed to truly establish himself at the Alvalade club, he remained one of the players most cherished by the green-and-white fans. The Brazilian winger revealed that he would have liked to stay with the Lions for longer.
"I had two wonderful years at Sporting. I wouldn’t say the word is frustration, but I believe I still had many good things to experience at that club", he revealed in exclusive comments to the sports newspaper Record.
Even without many opportunities, the current Internacional forward from Brazil made the most of the chances he was given. "Whenever I had the opportunity to step onto the pitch, regardless of how long I played, I tried to give my best. I think that explains the affection the fans still have for me to this day", he said.
Bruno Tabata also spoke about his expectations for Portugal at the World Cup. "Portugal has one of the most talented squads at the World Cup. All the players you mentioned are in an excellent moment in their careers, so I hope they can have a great World Cup", he said.
In two seasons at Sporting, between 2020 and 2022, Bruno Tabata – currently valued at 1.5 million euros - made 52 appearances, in which he scored eight goals and provided six assists. At the Alvalade club, the Brazilian attacker won one Portuguese League title, two League Cups and one Super Cup. In the summer of 2022, the Lions’ former No. 7 moved to Palmeiras for 5 million euros.
