Sporting MVP: Getting to grips with manager’s ideas | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Estoril, 1-0, in the seventh round of the Portuguese League. Without artistic flair, the only goal of the match was scored by Luis Suarez, still in the first half. In the flash interview, the forward confessed that he is "understanding the coach's ideas better".

"I believe that in today's game it's important to highlight the team's effort. Thank God, the team welcomed me, always made me feel at home and I am starting to understand the coach's ideas better. It's about continuing to work", began Rui Borges' protégé.

: "The team is prepared for anything, we know the next two games are very important (Napoli and Braga), but we will do everything to secure the three points", he stated.

The new striker of the Alvalade Club opened the scoring just 12 minutes in. Morten Hjulmand respected Maxi Araújo's advance down the left wing, and the Uruguayan crossed into the area, where the forward shot with his left foot into the back of Joel Robles' net.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 8 million euros – has played nine matches. The Sporting player has participated in all official matches at the start of the season: six for the Liga Portugal, one for the Champions League, and another for the Super Cup.
