″ The only person who did not want to honor Quintana ″

The Secretary of State for Sports and Youth was not present at the handball goalkeeper’s funeral.

The Secretary of State for Sports and Youth, João Paulo Rebelo, was again targeted this Tuesday by FC Porto, this time for not having been present at the funeral of Alfredo Quintana, a Portuguese handball international who died this Friday.

“What happened was a first small tribute to the great athlete who was Quintana. He joined fans and rivals, with the presence of Benfica and Sporting. At a time when rivalries were over, the only person who did not want to pay tribute Quintana was the secretary of state for sport, who did not appear or send a message. He is a rare bird in the midst of all this, the only concern is television rights. He appears publicly only to talk about it, not to be present or send a message at the funeral of a national team player. National, who did a lot for the national team, who had the best results in history for the handball team. There is this jarring note that, once again, penalizes the Portuguese sport “, shot Francisco J. Marques, FC Porto’s director of communication and information, in the program” Universo Porto da Bancada “, in Porto Canal.
