Throughout the Portuguese football world, all Sporting Lisbon fans have given very high praise to a group of young players led by Sudong, Ronnie and Quaresma, as well as Pepe, who has played as a central defender in recent games.

These four young players are all under the age of twenty and are in a period of rapid rise.

In an interview with the media, technical director Aurelio highly praised the performance of these young players in the team, believing that they demonstrated the outstanding youth training level of Sporting Lisbon.

"Many people say that we will have nothing with young players, but I don't think so."

"I think with this talented group of young players, we can win it all!"

But just when Aurelio was feeling complacent and ambitious, Sporting Lisbon flew away to challenge Slavia Prague in the UEFA Cup in midweek.

The lineup was as expected. Boloni arranged for Niculai and rotated the lineup.

As a result, in the away game, we conceded a goal in the first ten minutes.

Another one was conceded in the 40th minute, and the third one was conceded in the 87th minute.

Fortunately, at the last minute of the game, Quaresma got the team back.

In the end, Sporting Lisbon suffered a humiliating 1-3 defeat from Prague.

Although there is an away goal in hand, it is undoubtedly a very unfavorable predicament for the two-leg match.
