After big wins, Paulo Bento: This Sporting can top last season's | OneFootball

After the thrashing of Nottingham Forest, Sporting beat 1.º de Dezembro 4-0 this Saturday, August 1, in a training match held at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. Paulo Bento, looking at Rui Borges’ team’s performances, believes the Lions can be stronger this year.

“Basically, looking at this team, it seems to me that this is a much stronger, more settled Sporting than it was before, with very clear objectives in terms of Rui Borges’ ideas and his model for this team. In other words, can this Sporting be better than last year’s? I think so,” he told BOLA TV.

The general director of Sacavenense reinforced his view. “It gives me the feeling that Sporting could be a much more aggressive team, more direct, looking for more depth, much quicker getting forward,” he said.

Paulo Bento continued his analysis and argues that, at first glance, the Club has strengthened well. “At first sight, they have brought in players of great quality, more physicality in midfield, and it seems to me they have more quality,” he said.
