Jaime Marta Soares singles out Sporting player: there must be a reprimand | OneFootball

Luis Suárez rejoined Sporting training after enjoying a holiday period following his participation in the World Cup. The forward returned to the Academy after a summer marked by controversy surrounding the pre-agreement he signed with Hakan Safi, a former candidate for the Fenerbahçe presidency, whose list was ultimately defeated in the Turkish club’s elections.

The player was presented to the fans at the Cinco Violinos Trophy and is now preparing for the final days of pre-season ahead of the official Liga Portugal debut against Estrela da Amadora. his entrance onto the pitch divided opinion.

Speaking to the newspaper 'Record', Jaime Marta Soares commented on the return and said he was confident, but called for exemplary handling: "I hope these things do not happen too often again. This whole case ends up being admitted indiscipline. Let this not happen again, and let Luis Suárez be able to show in the next game that he is a Sporting-type player and that he can deliver throughout the season," he said.

The former president of the General Assembly Board also believes the case deserves a clear position from the club hierarchy: "He has to assess what it means to be the coach of a Sporting team when faced with cases like this. He has to say what he feels. There has to be a reprimand first of all and then say whether there is confidence or not. These situations cannot be brushed aside. Sporting’s president should also say what he thinks about these situations. Whether it was an isolated case or whether it can be resolved. The player must know that he is at a serious institution," he said.

Frederico Varandas had also already reacted to the matter, ruling out any scenario involving the Colombian’s departure: "One of an agent’s duties is to protect his player and have the intelligence to realize that he fell into a trap, where the objective is not a transfer to Fenerbahçe but to create a 'stir' around Suárez. Which does not exist, because the player is a great professional and next year he will be in green and white. Suárez is a great professional. He scored 38 goals and next year he will score 40, I think. Forty!" assured the Sporting president.
