Reinaldo Teixeira: Sporting’s action v Villas-Boas is strategic | OneFootball

On Wednesday, Sporting filed a disciplinary complaint against André Villas-Boas, following the accusations from the president of FC Porto that Sporting and Benfica have been exerting pressure on the referees. This Thursday, Reinaldo Teixeira reacted on Sport TV to this initiative by the club led by Frederico Varandas.

"It's up to us to make sure the noise is positive. Naturally, I believe that when someone does [a disciplinary complaint], they do it with an intention, with a strategy and I want to believe it's with a good opinion. But, like everything in life, what I do in my day-to-day life is with principles and values and I don't give up on that, impartially and, let's say, pluralistically, even these positions have to be seen in this way. And it's important that we all see the universe... the League, for example, who does it belong to? It belongs to the clubs. The stronger the clubs, the stronger the league", he pointed out.

In closing his intervention, the president of the League stated: "Therefore, it's up to us to have this type of action that values all clubs and sports SADs. That's the focus."
