It was fate that Tabata’s debut on the chest was precisely against his former team. In Portimão, the Brazilian midfielder appeared on Sunday dressed in green and white and even played in the second half, beating the young Tiago Tomás.
“It was a very good moment, especially against my former team. Very good feeling, as I felt I was ready, despite having had three training sessions because there was a Europa League game on Thursday. I felt very involved with the team, with the rest of the players, I felt at home from day one. And a winning debut was even better, “the Brazilian told Sporting TV, who even missed a clear opportunity to score the first goal:” It’s true. I had a clear opportunity to score and I finished without finishing. But as I was saying, debuting with a victory and a good performance is always better.
The duel in Portimão is now part of the past and the next bet in the championship is fiery: the classic against FC Porto. A test of great difficulty for the invincibility of Sporting in this championship. In two games (the confrontation with Gil Vicente is missing …), the lions have the same number of victories, four goals scored and none conceded. Tabata respects the opponent’s power but guarantees that Sporting will rise to the challenge.
“We are working well, although I have been training for a short time. I feel like the team has a very well defined level of play and everyone knows what they have to do on the pitch, and that translates into two good games and two good 2-0 victories. We have a game idea to follow, we have young players who also help in the way the man wants the team to play and from now on they just grow. The next game is against FC Porto, which is a very difficult game, but I think we are up to the challenge of being able to have a good championship ”, continues the 23-year-old Brazilian midfielder, underlining that the quality of the squad also gives him it will help you grow and evolve as a player.
