A BOLA – Rui Pedro Soares demands the postponement of the Santa Clara game (Belenenses SAD)

Rui Pedro Soares, president of SAD dos azuls, came today to defend Santa Clara. The Azorean club, which is discussing today another European match with Olimpija Ljubiana, has only 14 players due to the Covid-19 outbreak that has devastated the team. The official even says that officials should create conditions that allow Azores to postpone their game this weekend with Moreirense.

Portugal’s result in the UEFA rankings has always been a priority and it should be so now. We are discussing with the Netherlands a situation that would allow us to have six teams in the European leagues. For this, conditions must be created so that the teams can compete. Santa Clara should be given the possibility to be able to discuss these qualifiers. It is one of the teams representing Portuguese football and the Azores,” said the manager, who followed through with his idea:

“So it’s time to create the conditions for Santa Clara to postpone their game. If you play this game with 14 players, they will be overloaded and then, of course, they will be shortened in the next round. He appealed to all Portuguese football to postpone their match with Moreirense. And whoever speaks does not shut up” .
