Rui Borges says that tactical change "doesn't change anything" in Sporting's strategy

Sporting's coach Rui Borges stated that recent tactical changes do not alter the team's overall strategy, emphasizing defensive improvements. The team shifted from a 4-2-3-1 to a more classic 4-3-3 formation, allowing midfielder Altimira to drop back into defense. Borges noted that this change enhances defensive height and intensity, while also positioning Geny Catamo for quicker offensive plays. He explained the absence of Flávio Gonçalves from the starting lineup due to a mismatch in required intensity. The team is preparing to face Académico de Viseu, aiming for a second consecutive league win after a recent victory against Braga. Viseu, on a four-match winning streak, poses a challenge as they sit just four points behind Sporting.
