Super Paulinho keeps the lion on top

Another Paulinho goal and another victory for Sporting, who hold the league lead with three wins in the same number of games.

Intensity, pressure, but little efficiency, especially in the last pass. This proposal could well have characterized Sporting’s first half, not least because Famalican played little to no attack before half-time.

With the appearance of Hulman in his all-out debut, Sporting pushed Minho’s team closer to their zone. The defenders of the Fama successfully and with a certain efficiency nullified the offensive flow of the “lions”, which did not manage to diversify the game in order to displace the enemy defense, repeatedly reinforced by a formation of six people.

Paulinho warned first, then Giokeres. Both without the effectiveness of other games. After that, and until the break, the nerves of Ruben Amorim’s team began to fail. Some decisions by referee Andre Narciso increased the nervousness of the Sporting players, but also the resistance of the fans in Alvalada.
Famalican brought some courage from the dressing room, but it was a short-lived sun. In another zone, Pote made the first warning with a free kick on the crossbar. After that, justice on the scoreboard came to the mind of the scorer Paulinho, who was in the right place with the score 1-0.

Famalican changed some details and began to bother Sporting. This did not create situations of great danger, but it left the feeling that it could freeze Alvalade, because on the other hand the lions did not “kill” the game. They had three clear chances, but Luis Junior was great.

The journey of Sporting in the championship continues safely. Another honest triumph, which sins with short numbers. This is followed by a difficult trip to the Sp. Braga field.

Fresneda’s reinforcements in Lisbon
Right-back Ivan Fresneda arrived in Portugal yesterday afternoon and has already managed to watch the future team play in Alvalada. The 18-year-old Spaniard arrived in Tyres in a private jet and was then able to see his new teammates in action. Today, the player is undergoing routine medical examinations before moving to Sporting until 2028.

The Valladolid deal came after Sporting agreed to pay nine million euros plus two for the goals. The Spanish Emblem still has a 10% capital gain in future business.

Fresneda arrives to compete with Ricardo Esgayo on the right flank. The Spaniard is the third option for Amorim after the unsuccessful acquisitions of Carmona and Zanoli.
