Businessman claims that Miguel Veloso was out by "technical option"

The businessman Paulo Barbosa, a representative of Miguel Veloso and Yannick Djaló, is that both players were left out of the game with the P. Ferreira for "technical option" of Paulo Bento and stressed that both must respect the decisions of the coach.

"All players want to play and not be called is a concern. In our view, is an option purely technical and has to be respected," said Paulo Barbosa to Antena1 explaining the situation of Miguel Veloso, referring also on the case of Yannick: "The squad is very wide and have players with great quality and it is natural that not everyone can be summoned. It is for the coach to take the decisions and players have to respect the decisions of the coach."

Paulo Barbosa not confirmed, but not denied, it will have reached the SAD of Sporting proposed by Portuguese international average: "Issues relating Miguel Veloso are internal and not make sense to make any comment. I can't confirm anything at this time."
