Sergi Altimira reviews first three months at Sporting CP

Spanish midfielder Sergi Altimira has reflected on his first three months with Sporting CP, noting a rapid integration into the squad under coach Rui Borges. Altimira, who has become the most utilized outfield player and leads the team in ball recoveries in the Portuguese League, expressed satisfaction with his adaptation to the club and the country.

Comparing the competitive landscapes, Altimira noted that the Portuguese league is significantly different from Spain's LaLiga, citing different pitch conditions and highly physical opponents who often employ defensive tactics against Sporting. He emphasized the high level of demand at the club, stating that at Sporting, ‘a draw feels like a defeat.’

Altimira also praised the club's supportive environment, describing it as a ‘family atmosphere’ where staff and players are highly accessible. Looking ahead, he highlighted the team's focus on recovering lost points in the championship and preparing for upcoming challenges, including the match against Braga.
