Pedro Mendes: 'Sporting is a massive Club'

Pedro Mendes has become the latest new signing to join the Sporting ranks. The midfield playmaker put pen to paper on a 2 and a half-year contract, which sees him take command of shirt number 2. Speaking about his move to Sporting, Pedro Mendes noted: "Above everything else I am proud to be here and I am happy to have joined a Club like Sporting."

– How does it feel to be playing for Sporting?
– Above everything else I am proud to be here and I am happy to have joined a Club like sporting. This is the culmination of some conversations between us and I am very happy that it has ended this way. I already had an idea what Sporting is, but until now I had no idea of the internal workings of the Club. I have been treated very well so far.

– What motivated you to join Sporting?
– Overall it was the appeal of Sporting, which would attract just about any player. It is also because I will have the chance to win titles, the chance to come back to Portugal and the opportunity to play in front of such great fans. It was a combination of those factors that convinced me this is the right move.

First training session with Sporting for Pedro today...

Pedro Mendes na Academia
REALIZA HOJE O PRIMEIRO TREINO DE LEÃO AO PEITO


Pedro Mendes vai realizar esta terça-feira na Academia de Alcochete o primeiro treino de leão ao peito. O internacional português vai trabalhar na companhia dos jogadores não convocados para o embate do Dragão, numa sessão agendada por Carlos Carvalhal para as 10.30 e que contará com as presenças de Ricardo Batista, Caneira, Pedro Silva, Vukcevic e Yannick, se entretanto recuperar da febre que o afastou da convocatória.

O médio de 30 anos regressou ontem de Glasgow, onde se deslocou após vincular-se ao Sporting para tratar da mudança definitiva para Lisboa. Hoje inicia uma nova etapa na sua carreira num clube que poderá abrir-lhe as portas do Campeonato do Mundo de futebol, que este ano se realiza na África do Sul.

Em mais uma antecipação da entrevista concedida ao jornal do clube, o site na internet dá conta da vontade de Pedro Mendes em contribuir para os êxitos futuros. "Há que continuar a dar o nosso melhor e a vencer os jogos que temos pela frente", mencionou o internacional luso, mostrando total identificação com o clube pelo qual poderá estrear-se no fim-de-semana, frente à Académica.

injuries to key players at opportune times & lack of a midfield has hindered our chances
I only hope he brings direction to a bunch of individuals in the midfield & links the three parts of the team into one flow
I hope I'm not asking for a miracle

Mendes called up to Portugal -

Pedro Mendes: «É uma prenda que queria muito»
MÉDIO CHAMADO À SELEÇÃO NO DIA DO SEU 31.º ANIVERSÁRIO

A convocatória para o jogo de preparação de Portugal com China, na próxima quarta-feira, era "a prenda" de aniversário mais desejada por Pedro Mendes, afirmou o futebolista do Sporting, que cumpre hoje 31 anos de idade.

"Estou muito satisfeito. É muito importante para mim jogar pela seleção nacional e trata-se de um sinal positivo para mim estar de regresso a tão poucos meses do Mundial. Agradeço ao professor Carlos Queiroz a confiança que deposita em mim e ao Sporting por me ter permitido estar a jogar no meu país. É uma prenda que eu queria muito", disse, em nota da sua assessoria de imprensa.

O médio, recentemente contratado pelos leões ao Glasgow Rangers, regozijou-se pelo golo marcado ao Everton, na véspera, num triunfo por 3-0 que permitiu ao Sporting apurar-se para os oitavos-de-final da Liga Europa.

"Todas as alturas são boas, desde que ajudem o clube. Mas um golo tão importante como o que marquei contra o Everton, num dia, e a convocatória para um jogo da seleção nacional, no dia a seguir, significam que estou a fazer bem o meu trabalho", continuou.

Regresso bem-sucedido

Pedro Mendes mostrou-se ainda feliz pela opção de voltar a Portugal, agradecendo a ajuda dos colegas de equipa do clube lisboeta.

"Tudo isto significa que fiz a opção certa quando decidi regressar a Portugal para dar continuidade à minha carreira. Foi o melhor que me podia ter acontecido", disse.

Great performance from P. Mendes yesterday , arguably his best performance yet in a Sporting shirt.

Pedro Mendes destaca «solidariedade» dos jogadores do Sporting
Por Redacção

No final do jogo com o At. Madrid (0-0), na primeira “mão” dos oitavos-de-final da Liga Europa, o médio leonino Pedro Mendes destacou o «espírito de entreajuda e solidariedade» dos jogadores do Sporting.

«Tínhamos uma estratégia bem delineada para esta partida que foi condicionada muito cedo. Tivemos que alterar e optar por um estilo de jogo diferente, contra um ataque com jogadores muito rápidos e muito tecnicistas. Há que salientar o espírito de entreajuda e solidariedade dos jogadores do Sporting que, contra todas as adversidades, conseguiram um jogo positivo com um resultado que nos permite disputar, em Alvalade, o acesso aos quartos-de-final», disse Pedro Mendes no final do encontro em Madrid.

O jogo da segunda “mão” dos oitavos-de-final da Liga Europa entre Sporting e Atlético de Madrid está agendado para a próxima quinta-feira, dia 18, no Estádio de Alvalade.

One of the signings of the season.

And with strange aeons even death may die.

the next captain, as he is a key part of the midfield & key player with the flow...
didn't he have that role while in England (?was it Portsmith?)
