Derek GomesPANELIST
pretty much to a T.
Derek GomesPANELIST
Sporting, in that first half, very surprised with the moves that Rui Borges made, starting with Guilherme on the left wing and starting with Flavio in the middle.
Derek GomesPANELIST
And I
Mike AgostinhoHOST
did
Derek GomesPANELIST
bring this up a couple weeks ago.
Derek GomesPANELIST
as he did something similar to that where he had Salazar on the left, he put Flavio on the middle, and then Flavio became sort of invisible, which I just don't think he's as effective as he is when he's on the wing, when he has more space.
Derek GomesPANELIST
And you certainly saw that today, this past game, even though...
Derek GomesPANELIST
For a moment there, you thought he had opened up the score sheet with, it looked like a brilliantly taken goal.
Kevin FernandesHOST
I think he was the weak link of... all the midfield players in this match.
Kevin FernandesHOST
Even Flavio Gonçalves was not found enough because of how they set up for Malik and were very compact.
Kevin FernandesHOST
They did well in that respect.
Kevin FernandesHOST
You have enough individual performances to obviously celebrate, reward.
Jack CollinsHOST
And there was a couple of players who came off the bench and made real impacts.
Jack CollinsHOST
I'm really excited about Flavio Gonçalves.
Jack CollinsHOST
I thought Fresneda came on and did well as well.
Jack CollinsHOST
And Jan Ades at right back.
Jack CollinsGUEST
Yeah, so they sold Goodmanson, no, they loaned out Goodmanson to Lazio and brought in Pedro Gonçalves.
Jack CollinsGUEST
And you're like, what is going on? I thought he was one of the most underrated footballers, but they've got another one in 19-year-old Flavio Gonçalves, who has been playing off the left wing for the last couple of games.
Jack CollinsGUEST
He broke out, had a brilliant, brilliant preseason.
Jack CollinsGUEST
Roy Borges obviously kind of trusted him to start the season.
Mark StinchcombeGUEST
And then defensively, they lost Hulman from the centre midfield, Diamande from defence.
Mark StinchcombeGUEST
think the players they brought in are of lesser quality but they have a ceiling so they might they might over time help to replace them i mean i really like rodrigo salazar disappointed that um did he go to the world cup in the end and if he if he did he just didn't i don't know why he didn't get any minutes but you know that's probably the bottom of the list to ask probably a lot of questions before that um they got irakunda from um watford And there's been the emergence of Flavio Goncalves.
Mark StinchcombeGUEST
He's already got three goals this season.
Mark StinchcombeGUEST
I think the biggest one, though, is obviously keeping hold of Luis Suarez, who Barcelona seem to be interested in.
Jack CollinsGUEST
Um, and, and it is important to remember that there must always be a Goncalves at Sporting.
Jack CollinsGUEST
The good news for them is that Flavio Goncalves, the 19-year-old, has had a really big impact this season already and, and looks like he's gonna kind of take the throne in that regard.
Jack CollinsGUEST
But suddenly Fiorentina...
Jack CollinsGUEST
A- and look, they were involved in this mad carousel on the final day where Beto came in from Everton, Moise Kean went off to Como, and then suddenly Gudmundsson was on the move to Lazio, and Pedro Goncalves rocked up.
Jack CollinsGUEST
at Sporting.

Jack CollinsGUEST
You're like...
Kevin FernandesGUEST
Probably not to be at Sporting next season, probably to make a move to the Premier League because he's that sort of intense player.
Kevin FernandesGUEST
As I had said before, Flavio Gonçalves, he's just come up from the academy.
Kevin FernandesGUEST
I've been raving about this kid from...
Kevin FernandesGUEST
He was playing in the under-19s because they show those games on Sporting's club channel.
Sam FonsecaHOST
I did steal your quote when, uh, Paulo was on here last week about the Goncalves name still defining a century for, or a decade even, for Sporting.
Sam FonsecaHOST
But I, I think he genuinely feels like a, a new signing, and when I look at someone like Zalazar who hasn't really hit the ground running yet, it's the complete opposite for Flavio Goncalves, because every game I've watched him I've just been like, "Wow, this kid is just insane."
Kevin FernandesHOST
Flavio Goncalves is going to be the left wing signing that so many Sporting issues have been clamoring for.
Kevin FernandesHOST
He has shown that level so far.
Kevin FernandesHOST
His maturity on the ball at times, the passes that he can pick out, is something that we don't have in the squad since the likes of Trincao have left, and obviously one Goncalves is taking all of the mentions at the moment, but another has departed today, which was, it, it seemed that it was overdue in a sense because it, it was basically, the, the, the writing was written for quite a while that he was going to depart.
Kevin FernandesHOST
You can really count on him to get that ball back.
Kevin FernandesHOST
And I think it's really a, a sign to show where Sporting need to go from here.
Kevin FernandesHOST
They haven't really replaced Pedro Goncalves or Daniel Braganca or even Francisco Trincao without it being, uh, Flavio Goncalves coming in, in that sort of sense of small space play.
Derek GomesPANELIST
They, they moved Salazar out wide and I think he produced more out wide.
Derek GomesPANELIST
Uh, but it was to the detriment of Flavio Goncalves, who was essentially a non-factor in this game.
Derek GomesPANELIST
Uh, they, they pushed Flavio Goncalves to the middle, sort of behind the striker.
Derek GomesPANELIST
Uh, and, uh, it just didn't, it just didn't work.
Derek GomesPANELIST
I think he's a, he's a kid that needs space.
