Review

Liga Zon Sagres
We've failed one more time, this one against Paços, and our rivals are getting better.
Now we are 3 points ahead Benfica and it is a very small advantage after what we've got. But for what was expected in the beggining of the season still a pretty decent number, and we are in a great position.
Anyway, since now if we lose more points probably we will have teams like Benfica and Porto more close and this shouldn't happen, so the main objective is to keep some points ahead this teams.
Europa League
We are out of this competition. To many lost points, and very bad performances. The win in Belgrade gave us some hope for the next 2 games, but after the lost in Kharkiv we have no chances to go thru.
Doesnt look like the same team playing in the championship and in the Europa League, and now we've paid for it. One of the objectives for the season, was to do a good work in Europa League, is gone and it was a very shameful group stage that we did.
From now on, it is time to focus only in the internal competitions and I really hope that give us more chances to get the league title.
Player of the Month
Diego Capel, the Spanish winger, is the winner of the Player of the Month in November.
He did awesome in this month, perhaps the best moment when he scored the goal against Braga that gave us a very important win. He scored twice this month, claimed 2 man of the match and assist 3 times.
Capel is one of the most importants players of the team. He's the most lethal Sporting's weapon in the counter attacks due to his speed and ball control, also do amazing crosses and that's a very important atributte in Sporting wingers, because is one of the most used ways to play by the Lions to cross into the area where Wolfswinkel can head for the goal.

It was a good month. We only lost one game, where we had nothing to lose, and that didn't bring instabillity in the future performances, so it's not big deal.
We got 2 wins in the League and we have now 1 more game played than our rivals. We have to keep winning and always hope some drop points by them.
In the Cup we got an easy win, but an hard draw, and we will face Guimarães that will for sure give eveything they got to go thru in the competition.
In the League Cup we are favourites to get the first place, and go for the Semi. In the group stage of this competition, only the 1st go thru, so could be important the goal difference at this stage, and I hope we can win more one or two games of the group, but if not win, at least not lose.
The Player of the Month is Andre Carrillo. The young star made just 3 appearences and he scored in every game. Also he did more 2 assists, and great performances.
Like Diego Capel. Carrillo is one winger of the starting eleven, and he is one of the most important players in the team, and many times the most influent.
