Miguel Braga, Sporting’s communication manager, once again referred to the performance of referee Luís Godinho in the Famalicão game, while urging the union of the fans with the team led by Rúben Amorim.

“For our part, partners and supporters of Sporting, we have to be able to demonstrate the will of the club to fight against the established powers and the installed system. Remembering that together we will always be stronger and that it will be in the union where our strength lies ”, you can read in an article published in this week’s edition of the Sporting newspaper.

Read in full:

“Injustice with all its negative charge sometimes has the ability to bring people together for something positive. One of those moments happened last Saturday. After 90 minutes of play, El Patron went up to the opposing midfield and, realizing the intention of Pedro Porro’s center, accelerated the pace and put the ball in; What happened next is one of those moments for the fans to experience: an explosion of joy, contagious, a roar of the Lion who believes to the end, a captain who leads his team in the fight with several opponents, a group that unites. in a supportive hug of joy. Just no.

The first warning to the navigation came from Ciudad del Fútbol and after a very quick analysis to that end, referee Luís Godinho annihilated his own instincts, reversing a clean goal in favor of FC Famalicão. The game would end shortly thereafter and, a few minutes later, the football world was surprised with an unprecedented position from the Refereeing Council (CA): someone, on behalf of the CA, called directly at least five media reporting that the analysis Godinho’s over Coates was, after all, correct.

The following days deserved the attention of several analysts, commentators, specialists and not so much, who dedicated themselves to saying if there was a lack or not, if the infamous intensity was enough to be considered an infraction, if the goal should have been validated. The discussion – although it was contaminated by an a priori position of the Board, conditioning a whole sector – was fruitful, showing that with Godinho’s error it was anything but “clear and evident”, thus disrespecting the VAR protocol. And it was not the first time that this happened: it is enough to remember the movement between Zaidu and Pedro Gonçalves and the reversal of the penalty and the consequent expulsion of the FC Porto player.

“They would be four points ahead and start to shake, but the more they shake and do this, the more strength they give to this group. This I assure you, ”President Frederico Varandas said after the meeting. “In the Sporting CP team, when you go, everyone goes and it will be that way until the end of the championship,” assured coach Rúben Amorim.

For our part, Members and supporters of Sporting CP, we must be able to demonstrate the will of the Club to fight against the established powers and the installed system. Remembering that together we will always be stronger and that it will be in the Union where our strength resides.

Always sporty! »
