Realistically, even when the team added victory after win or goal after goal, Sporting coach Ruben Amorim was warning, in some press conferences, of the possibility of lower quality stages arriving and that, at that time, it would be necessary to know how to deal with them and work to overcome them .
At the moment, Amorim is enjoying, for the first time, the inherent yellowness of a downward curve, after successive defeats with the main rivals, Benfica and FC Porto, and the defeat in Dragao kept the team away from the goal of the season, which was to score the presence in the Portuguese Cup final.
In fact, since arriving at Sporting, the Leonen coach has never seen his team lose two games in a row. More: Until Thursday, Sporting always reacted with victories – moreover, the Lions had not scored two consecutive defeats since 2019/2020, when they lost to Basaksehir (4-1) and Famalicao (3-1).
In addition to defeats, the Lions have not gone two games in a row without a goal since Ruben Amorim arrived at Alvalade – the last time this happened was also in the 2019/2020 season, in the defeat to FC Porto (0-2) and a draw with V. Setúbal (0-0).
This, then, is Robin Amorim’s worst stage at Sporting.
