Trincão makes surprise appearance before Sporting v Club Brugge | OneFootball

Besides Rui Borges and Iván Fresneda, who were the spokespersons for Sporting in the preview of the match against Club Brugge for the Champions League, the Artur Agostinho Auditorium at the José Alvalade Stadium featured another prominent presence: Francisco Trincão.

The Portuguese international, accompanied by Luís Neto, sat in the front rows to listen to what the coach and his teammate had to say before the Champions League clash. In this case, Trincão ended up hearing Rui Borges talk about his contract renewal with Sporting, which has been a topic due to the potential increase in his salary.

"I don't need to say, everyone knows the confidence of the coaching staff and the coach. He is having a great season, perhaps the best. I'm happy about that. We believe we have some merit in this regard. I feel he is focused, regardless of the renewal. Besides, he has a contract and will be here in the coming years spreading magic," said Rui Borges about Trincão's process.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Francisco Trincão - valued at 35 million euros - has played 17 matches. The Portuguese international forward has started in almost all official games. So far, he has recorded seven goals and three assists to his personal tally.

Sporting returns to the field this Wednesday, November 26th, against Club Brugge. The match, counting for the fifth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Nicky Hayen, will be played at the José Alvalade Stadium at 20:00.
