Villas Boas mocks Varandas’ work at Sporting live on air | OneFootball

Porto was awarded the Globo Aposta no Feminino prize at the Portugal Football Globes, and André Villas Boas took the stage to receive the award on behalf of Porto's women's team. The president of the Dragons took the opportunity to issue a challenge to Rui Costa and Benfica, indirectly mentioning that Sporting, led by Frederico Varandas, 'does not put up a fight'.

"Good evening, everyone. Good evening, Mr. President of the FPF, I would like to personally thank you for this award, I shouldn't be the one receiving this prize, but rather the heroines. These are the first steps, we want to reach the First League and offer Rui Costa some real competition," he began by saying.

The leader of the blue and whites thanked Porto's athletes: "In two years we will be there to celebrate our great rivalry. This is our role in society and in sports. They are the ones who help us get up, to lend a hand, at various moments in our lives. Thank you to all of you," he said, in addition to saying that the Alvalade Club influences refereeing decisions.

In the last sports season, the club from Luz won the women's football championship for the fifth consecutive time, achieving the first title without a single defeat. On the other hand, Sporting has not won the Portuguese League since 2017/2018, back when it was managed by Nuno Cristóvão.

The green and white emblem now turns its attention to the Liga BPI. The next match for Sporting is scheduled for Saturday, October 11, against Marítimo, at 11:00 AM, at Campo da Imaculada Conceição, in Funchal, in a fourth-round clash of the National Championship.
