In the businesses of the world of football, the millions of euros that players pay are processed with the naturalness with which ordinary mortals send change to their friends through a mobile application to repay the loan they made by investing in a coffee. 45 million euros still represents a few tons of caffeine. However, if the return is having Pedro Porro playing right-back for a big European club, the compensation is worth it. That is the value of the termination clause of the winger that those interested will have to pay to take over the Spaniard in the next winter market.
In the return of the championship to Alvalade after the World Cup and with Coates playing the 300th game in the verdiblanca, Sporting received and won by 3-0 Paços de Ferreira in a match on matchday 14 of the League Cup. Before the game, there was a minute of silence in honor of Pelé, who passed away on Thursday. With the Brazilian star in mind, Damn, he became king and dragged an already motivated Sporting with him to victory.
Father Ferreira arrived in Lisbon without having achieved any victory in the season. After César Peixoto and José Mota led the team without enough success to stay in office, it was the turn of the interim coach, Marco Paiva, to assume the destinies of the team and try to reverse the cycle 17 games without winning. Rúben Amorim had the difficulty of preparing the game blindly, not knowing how P. Ferreira was going to present himself, since he had no material to analyze an opponent who came up with new ideas.
The beavers tried to match their tactical system to that of the lions. Thus, the people of Badajoz acted in 3-4-3, forming a line of five behind at the time of the defensive organization. Up front, P. Ferreira played without reference in attack. In theory, Nico Gaitán was the most advanced element, however, the Argentine fell many times to the right, finding space to organize the team game between Matheus Reis and Nuno Santos. With an interpreter like Gaitán, Paços, at times, even dared to surround the ballalthough, upon reaching the last third Sporting, also in 3-4-3, did not give any possibility of infiltration. Even without Morita (out due to injury) and Ugarte (absent due to suspension), the young Dário Essugo got the job done in Sporting’s midfield.
