I’m always focused on what I have to do.” and I don’t care, ”he told Sport TV after Sporting’s victory over Portimonense (2-0). It should be remembered that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has not yet decided – it should do so during the next week – on the appeal related to the cardboard that the player saw in front of the chess pieces. The Disciplinary Board decreed the sanction of a game but the lions appealed to the CAS and placed a precautionary measure in the TCAS, suspending the sanction.

Game analysis

“It was a fair victory. We could have scored more goals, the terrain did not help, a lot of rain. This year we have been collecting fields like this, but we have given everything and we have managed to win the games. The secret is in the attitude and unity of this team. That playing on a field like this requires another approach on our part. But we have been doing well and managing to overcome difficulties. “

Classic

“There are three more points, as now with Portimonense. As always, the next game is the most important, and now it is FC Porto. Rest today and tomorrow we are already thinking of traveling to Dragão.”
