The continuity of Yannick Dagalo and Amorim in Alvalade: “This is what Sporting wants.” – Sporting

The striker and former coach were teammates at Benfica (2011/12)

Away from the media since he ended his professional football career, in 2017/18, Yannick Dagalo admits his absence from the competition but ensures he continues to follow the football phenomenon regularly. Even because of the “dream” of his son Cristian, who works with Cova da Piedade’s henchmen. “I’ve been in contact with football through my son. I’ve been watching his dream practically on a daily basis,” admitted the former Benfica and Sporting forward, on the sidelines of Manuel Fernandez’s tribute, which took place at the Sarrilos Grands, on April 25.

And Sporting is what most attracts the attention of the soccer player who chose Thailand to bid farewell to the king of sports. Understands Yannick Dagalo, who shared the Benfica dressing room with the current coach of the Lions in the 2011/12 season.

For this reason, Diallo is confident that Ruben Amorim will continue to lead Alvalade’s fate next season. He declares his conviction publicly. “It is undeniable what he did during the time he was in the service of Sporting. We were already champions. He’s a coach who bets on youth, he’s a coach who looks at formation”, praised Yannick Dagalo, offering some more interesting arguments: “This is what Sporting wants He’s a person with personality, a five-star person, I have a personal relationship with him, I admire him a lot and I love him.”

The one that the former Sporting striker seems to like most is Youssef Chermiti, a striker who has been released this season in several matches for the main Lions team. “He’s young, with a great margin of progress. He’s just started, he’s 18 years old, and you have to give him time,” suggests the former footballer, formerly an international with the colors of the Portuguese national team, leaving a relative guarantee for the Portuguese-Tunisian: “In In the future, we will definitely have a striker who is very valuable for national football.”

Here, Yannick Djaló can’t resist taking up other topics for the time being. Does Sporting need another top scorer in the team led by Ruben Amorim? “If Paulinho and Shermiti were scoring goals regularly, we wouldn’t say the number nine is missing. That’s the goal! But Robben and the technical team, better than anyone else, would know these details. If it were me, maybe there would be another striker, but, oh, there he is, Because there were no targets from the attackers at this point…”, he concludes.
