Leonino exclusive: Bruno Ferreira picks Sporting’s biggest letdown | OneFootball

Bruno Ferreira gave an exclusive interview to Leonino. Among various topics discussed, the comedian believes that Sporting needs to strengthen in the winter transfer market, he chose Giorgi Kochorashvili - who may leave in the summer - as the player who least met expectations and considers that Rui Borges' team plays the best football in Portugal.

"The January market always ends up being important to adjust according to the performance that the teams are showing. In this case, just like last year, yes, it's urgent for the team to strengthen. I know there are young talents in the B team, who are ready to step up, but, in the end, they may not be enough for what we need. We have everything in our hands, meaning we can be champions, we can win both Cups, and that's what forces us to make signings. We've never been very strong in the winter market, but this is the best year to reverse the trend," he starts by saying, then talking about the evolution of the Georgian midfielder.

"Kochorashvili promised a lot in the first and second games he played, but, in my view, he didn't live up, at least, to the expectation we had of him... but they are ours, and therefore, what I hope is they play well. What we need is, above all, depth. I like Mangas, I sympathize with Fresneda, even Vagiannidis, but I always think they are always second choices for last-minute substitutions or due to suspension or strategy. For them to be starters seems insufficient to me".

Despite Porto being in first place, with five more points than Sporting, Bruno Ferreira considers that Rui Borges' team plays the best football: "There was a phase when Porto was very dominant. It's true that they continue to win, but no longer with that quality and often undeservedly, given what they do on the field. In general terms, Sporting is the team that is in better shape."

Asked if Rui Borges is the ideal coach for Sporting, the actor says he has confidence in the work being done: "If the players are with him... He has achievements and has important effects for the Club. He will always pay for being a coach who appeared at Sporting without a great resume. In fact, he deserves to be there and, as long as he's winning, we have to be happy", he concludes.
