Bruno Prata slams Porto after Sporting clash: mere opportunism | OneFootball

Porto sent a letter to the FPF and the League regarding the racism case between Gianluca Prestianni and Vinícius Júnior. For Bruno Prata, this strategy by the blue and white club is nothing but opportunism and recalls the Classic against Sporting at the beginning of this month.

"Porto’s appeal for 'zero tolerance' in letters signed by Villas-Boas and sent to the League and the FPF sounds, at first glance, impeccable. The problem is the context and memory. When indignation arises selectively and is calibrated to suit competitive convenience, the discourse loses moral density and becomes mere opportunism", he said in his opinion piece for the newspaper Record.

The journalist recalled the case of Fábio Veríssimo and the events against the Alvalade Club. "Especially since the childish guerrilla tactics against referee Fábio Veríssimo and in the game with Sporting are very recent", he expressed his opinion.

It should be remembered that Frederico Varandas criticized André Villas-Boas, after Porto published a newsletter targeting the lions. "The statements, which are a string of lies, and have been since the Porto game, have only one objective: to avoid discussing what matters," he said last week.

The green and white emblem will return to the field next Friday, February 27th, against Estoril. The match, part of the 24th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ian Cathro, will be played at 20:45, at the Estádio José Alvalade.
