1-1 final. Defensive error ended up costing us but probably a fair result against a good team. Good pre season test. I liked Marsa particularly in the 2nd half. Looks good on the ball, I think he could be a good depth option if he keeps it up. Trincao debut was decent, of course he's barely trained and I'm sure he'll get better.
Rumours that we're negotiating with Famalicao to buy the remaining 50% of Pote. We might send young winger Geny Catamo as compensation.
From Fabrizio Romano: Paris Saint-Germain have Gonçalo Inácio as one of the options in their list in case Presnel Kimpembé leaves, he’s really appreciated by Campos. ⭐️ #PSG Negotiations on between Chelsea and PSG for Kimpembé. Chelsea have re-activated contacts for Koundé, Barça want to be fast.
Lol own goal right after from Inacio. 1-1 This is the squad Israel; Neto, Coates, Inácio; Porro, Ugarte, Matheus Nunes, Matheus Reis; Edwards, Rochinha, Pote Subs; Adán, Morita, Tabata, Nuno Santos, Trincão, Paulinho, André Paulo, Esgaio, Marsà, Nazinho
3-2 win which IMO was deserved, 7 shots on target vs. 3. Feisty encounter too as several times the players got into scraps during the match. Flashes of what Trincao could do in the 2nd half. But Pote and Edwards were particularly Bright and I think have the edge to get the start when the league starts.
I watched the game. Sporting played well and should have won by a larger margin. Trincao looks like a beast
Was a good warm up game for the team …. Better than the last few exhibition games …. Let’s attack the league now!
18 yr old mexican defender Jesus Alcantar signs with us, he'll start on the B team Looks like Renan is finally gonna move on from us. Hes going to Saudi Arabia and will rescind with us. He hasnt played for well over 2 years and has rejected every offer to leave, apparently a high earner too.
Renan has been like the 28 year old son who won’t move out of your basement…..wasted 2 years of his career just practicing by himself either because he didn’t want to go to a smaller club/league or take a bit of a pay cut to move on…. Doesn’t seem worth it on his end .
So, St Juste, this dude worrying anyone else yet? Saw he’s had some history of injuries before coming to Sporting. Can’t really afford to get this one wrong. Hope dude recover and prepare for the season soon.
Yes its a bit worrying. First he was gonna play vs Roma, then it was tomorrow vs Sevilla. Now hes being prepared for Braga.
you guys. He’s not going anywhere. We don’t have the benfica hype machine and mendes carousel to export our players for such prices.
