Jeremiah St. Juste became the main novelty at the start of the new season of Sporting. The 25-year-old centre-back spoke to Jornal Sporting, sharing, among other things, his first impression of Ruben Amorim.
“I can’t reveal too much, but Mr. imposes very attacking football, with a lot of pressure and a lot of combinations with the ball coming from behind. The way the coach thinks about football suits me quite well, as it includes high pressure, ball possession and attacking football,” the Dutchman explained.
Jeremiah St. Just became a father last Sunday and showed up at Alcochete a day later at the start of work: “I had a girl and now a boy, those were very exciting days. We have already held the first two training sessions of the new season, and I am very pleased. It’s been a bit hectic and crazy days, but I feel really good.”
Having been to the Netherlands and Germany, the defender is now gearing up for adventures in Portuguese football: “I know Portugal has a lot of good ball players and a lot of good players in the league. I believe that the Portuguese league will be useful for my development as a player.”
St. Juste acknowledged that the fact that Sporting are in the Champions League influenced the decision to go to Alvalade and left a message for the Sporting fans: “I will press hard, attack and help the defense with my speed. I also hope I can score some goals, who knows. I can’t wait to see the fans in the stadiums.”
