Sporting turned 115 yesterday and the party took place in several directions, from inauguration and tribute to the launch of new equipment, but the highlight was the performance of Frederico Varandas.
“It is on days like these, when I wake up and come to such ceremonies, that I feel small, so small when faced with the history of this great club, and it is on these days that I remember responsibility, but also great. the pride I have in my hands is the mission to serve Sporting. Because it should and always should be the mission of the President of Sporting, ”- this is how the speech of the leader of the lions began in the Artur Agostinho hall, in Alvalada, and
Addressing the sports world, he appreciated the mandate. “It looked like it was 30, but it was three years. I like to remember the 112th anniversary, the saddest in history: everything was sad, pessimistic, many predicted a very difficult future for the club, and today we are experiencing the happiest anniversaries in the history of the club. And, looking at this path, in these three years no one has won more than Sporting in football and in sports. For years I have heard Sporting cling to sport to hide the fact that football is eluding them. Today we are very proud that we are fond of basketball, table tennis, futsal, judo and other sports, as well as football. No tycoon or partner who has invested millions has arrived on this journey. Have we reduced our football budget? Yes, downloaded. Have we reduced the budget in modalities? Yes, downloaded. We won? Yes, we won. We won through competence, rigor and commitment to training, we cut budgets, but we won the future of Sporting. We have cut budgets, but have invested a lot in the club, ”he stressed.
