Ruben Amorim confirmed on Friday, ahead of the match with Chavez, that Antonio Adan and Luis Neto will leave Sporting and will say goodbye to the fans for Saturday’s meeting in Alvalade.
“We will use this last day to say goodbye to very important players on this trip, these are cycles that happen. Neto will play his last match at Alvalade – I have already talked about him a lot, and it is not worth highlighting his importance – and Antonio Adan as well. This is perhaps the most difficult part of the season.” Being a coach, maybe one of the reasons why we wanted to go somewhere else, so we don’t have to make these decisions and Alvalade will say goodbye to Antonio. We realize that we are only here because we were champions in the first year, and we provided a different stability. Without Antonio we would not have been champions. “Everything we built from that first moment was with Antonio and because of Antonio,” said the Leonine coach.
Neto will even start in the final round of the First League match, but Adan will not participate because he is injured. He explained: “Antonio cannot play, he is injured, but I want these players to have a moment that is consistent with their importance in the club, and that is why I spoke about them.”
