fIt was one of the big games of the day and, on his way to the Premier League this season, one of the big surprises. Sporting de Portugal eliminated Arsenal on penaltiesafter drawing 1-1 during the 90 minutes and failing to hit the rival goal in extra time.
One of the great architects of victory is his coach, Reuben Amorim, who in Portugal is already compared to JosĂ© Mourinho. “The new Mourinho? We won’t have a Mourinho anymore. Mourinho is unique. She already wrote me a message. He told me that the old and new Mourinho are already in the next stage, but there will be no other Mourinho“said Amorim after the win against Arsenal.
Against 38 years old, the Portuguese already knows what it means to win the Portuguese League Cup with Sporting de Braga and La Primerira Liga, the Portuguese Super Cup and two League Cups with Sporting de Portugal. Away from the leader of the Primeira Liga this season, Amorim’s challenge in the Europa League continueswhere he is already in the quarterfinals.
