Paulo Catarro publicly criticized Sporting's decision not to use player Pote, questioning the logic of keeping an athlete available without integrating him into the team. The commentator noted that the fact that Pote is 28 years old and fit to play makes the situation even harder to understand.
Catarro considered that sidelining an undisputed starter from the team represents a devaluation of the player himself. According to his analysis, this situation also compromises the lion-shaped club's negotiating position in future transfers or contract negotiations.
The commentator left a question open, directly wondering about the reasons why Sporting refuses to take advantage of an asset they have at their disposal, suggesting that the decision may have negative consequences for both the player and the club.
