Goalkeeper Rui Patriciu does not intend to continue performances for Sporting.

Rui Patriciu published a letter on 34 pages, in which he demanded the dissolution of the contract with the club and explained this decision.

"I'm clearly aware of everything. I think that I was an example of professionalism and always laid out for the sake of the club. I realize the greatness of Sporting and its fans, I was happy with the victories and was happy with the defeats. If I did not do it again, it was only because I could not, "wrote Patriciu.

"I was surprised by the attitude of President Bruno de Carvalho to the players the day before the attack on the Academy, given his aggressive and dictatorial tone in previous months".

"Even after the defeat of 1: 2 from Maritimo, which left us outside the Champions League, we were all surprised by the changes in his behavior. He called us "spoiled," accused of lack of spirit ".

"He asked me:" It does not matter what happened - are you ready to play on the weekend in the final of the Cup of Portugal? If there are problems - call me ".

"The attack on the training base was not a separate and unpredictable incident, which could not have been foreseen by the club's management. It was a very easy predictable situation ".

"The behavior of President Sporting was unacceptable, it aggravated the attitude of fans to the players. After the incident, de Carvalho's behavior was simply unacceptable. His first comments were shocking and offensive to us, the players ".

"By this letter, I ask to terminate my contract. I was a victim of physical and psychological abuse. So to protect my personal and professional dignity, I want to break the contract with Sporting ".

It is assumed that the services of Rui Patricio interested in Napoli, who sees in him an excellent replacement for the departed in Milan Pepe Reines.

CM Jornal also claims that midfielder Williams Carvalho has terminated the contract with Sporting.
