Rui Borges, Sporting's coach, spoke after his team's rout of Rio Ave in Vila do Conde. Sporting secured an emphatic victory on their trip to Rio Ave's ground, achieving a win with many goals.

In his post-match remarks, Rui Borges sought to maintain a balanced perspective. The coach stated that «neither was everything bad before nor is everything good now», suggesting he doesn't want the emphatic victory to change the assessment he already had of the team.

This position of Rui Borges indicates that the coach intends to keep his feet firmly on the ground, avoiding both alarmism after less good moments and overconfidence after positive results. The rout is certainly welcome, but Borges seems to want to convey that the work continues unchanged.

Pedro Sousa hasn't liked Benfica starter's performances: "He's like a fish out of water"

Commentator Pedro Sousa criticized Sudakov's recent performances at Benfica, considering that the 27-million-euro player is "like a fish out of water" and hasn't convinced fans due to lack of goal contributions and assists. Sousa recalled that players like Prestianni and Schjelderup, who cost less, have shown better performances, questioning how long Benfica should wait for the Ukrainian. The situation becomes even more complex since Rafa Silva occupies similar roles and is in excellent form, with Marco Silva showing no intention of changing his position in the starting eleven.
