Beto case rocks Portimonense: ‘The player gets into his head that he wants to leave and takes things: it doesn’t exist’

Remarks by SAD do Portimonense President, Rodini Sampaio

SAD do Portimonense president Rodiney Sampaio has clearly criticized the position of Beto, who has said publicly that he intends to leave Algarve club from Liga Bwin during this transfer market: “What he did was an unimaginable situation,” he said at a Nakajima conference.

“For us, that was not the position of the player,” the coach said, later referring to who “surrounds the player.” “It was the attitude of the people around the player. He is a very important player for Portimonense. He has always been welcomed since he arrived here. We are calm and the ones who should worry are the people around the player.”

“He has disciplinary measures until September 5 until then, we will resolve his situation. If we don’t do that, he will go to the Under-23 team,” he said before denying there were proposals for the striker, before denying that there were proposals for the striker: “One great suggestion? He didn’t reach Portimonense. If it had been, we would have met the agents, but nothing ever arrived. They arrived orally, but this comes every day” –

“This can’t happen in the world of football, or the clubs will eventually shut down. And because of the player who puts it in his head and wants to leave, he takes things and leaves: that doesn’t exist. It can.” Does not happen. There is an agent who has a contract with the player and another who came to the club to try to negotiate. We don’t know who the player’s agent really is. I do not agree with the situation, it is a negative one,” concluded Rodinho Sampaio.
