Sporting’s pre-season work in the Algarve is nearing its end. The team just wrapped up its second-to-last friendly match. They played against Farense, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. This quiet test behind closed doors gave the coaching staff a look at some fresh talent.
The match against Farense happened at the Hotel Cascade in Lagos. Sporting’s coach, Rui Borges, decided to put a lot of young players on the field. This choice hints at a clear plan. It seems he wanted to save his main stars for the upcoming games, especially the one where fans will be watching. Silas manages the Farense side, and the coaches saw their teams play two halves, each lasting 35 minutes.
The training camp finishes this Monday. It will end with a final test game at Algarve Stadium against Sunderland from England. But that’s not the only action. The report also mentions a match kicking off at 8:00 PM against Régis Le Bris’s team. This later game is where Sporting’s key players are expected to shine for the fans.
