<![CDATA[ Rui Borges pronto para começar a desenhar o novo esquema tático do bicampeão ]]>

Pre-season has already started in Alcochete with medical tests and...the first physical 'beating'. This Friday, the Lions return to training and Rui Borges' agenda includes the start of tactical work, although conditioned by the absence of 11 internationals who will only be present next week. On the first day of training, the coach promised to give his "stamp" to the team, an objective that he did not achieve last season as he entered a phase in which the schedule was tight, and with an unusual number of injuries, he opted to maintain a 3x4x3, a bet that proved to be correct as Sporting ended last season celebrating the double.
