Journalist Mário Figueiredo commented on Liga NOW about the reaction of Sporting fans to João Palhinha's transfer to Benfica. The midfielder, who represented Sporting, moved to the rival club, which provoked strong indignation among Sporting fans. Mário Figueiredo considered that Palhinha does not deserve the treatment he has been receiving from the lion fans. The transfer to Benfica, Sporting's historic rival, was the main reason for the hostility demonstrated by supporters of the Alvalade club.
