Bruno de Carvalho in Costa Rica to open Sporting Academy School
The Sporting Academy School project officially appeared on the map in Central America for the first time this week. In Costa Rica for the opening of the country's first Sporting Academy School, Bruno de Carvalho, also took the opportunity to speak with local radio and television stations.
Speaking with local radio, the Alvalade president explained the project to the journalist and the crucial role that Bryan Ruiz and Joel Campbell have played: "We have been studying Costa Rica for a few years now, because this country has a lot of talent. It is really important for us to find people who share our philosophy, by which I mean training youth players as both athletes and human beings. Bryan Ruiz and Joel Campbell contributed to that and they are both excellent people and professionals."
Expanding further on that same idea of a common philosophy, Bruno de Carvalho added: "I don't want a different Sporting CP, I want the one I learned to love and respect. We a re a club with a fantastic history, although things haven't been going as we would like in relation to football. In Costa Rica we are looking for players who can bring consistency to a squad that has to win."
