After last nights loss to Atletico in the EL, Sporting (Lisbon) have gone into absolute meltdown seemingly out of nowhere.
President Bruno de Carvalho decided to send out a facebook post trashing the players, saying they didn't try, were useless and the ones who got yellows ruling them out of the second leg did it on purpose to avoid having to play again.
The players then responded by not turning up to training all putting out the same social media message saying how annoyed they were. Not to be out done, Carvalho has responded by suspending all 19 players who posted the message, leaving them with only Bas Dost available for their game on Monday, due to him not having any social media accounts.
Carvalho is a bit of a nutter, famous for calling the West Ham owners the dildo brothers and refusing to give the third party any money in the Marcos Rojo deal, but even for him this seems a bit mental!
Jan Hagen (@PortuBall) has a great thread on it, it's genuinely bizarre
