Former Sporting star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valeri-Bojinov-c35853 claims that he will be supporting the Lions when they take on Manchester City, a side which the Bulgarian has also played for in the past.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-c30950 Sa Pinto’s men face the sternest test of their European credentials on the 8th of March at Estadio Jose Alvalade when they welcome English Premier League giants Manchester City.
The Citizens come into the two-legged as firm favourites but a surprise result cannot be ruled out with the kind of talent on display.
City’s Yaya Toure, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stijn-Schaars-c34229 and Matias Fernandez can also prove to be a handful on their day.
Sporting play the first leg at home and will be looking to get on the score sheet more than anything, as the Etihad is a complete fortress and the recent dismantling of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 there has further intensified the pre-game atmosphere.
Although there are many sub-plots in the match, one of them involves Valeri Bojinov, who has played for both clubs.
The forward was unceremoniously shipped off to Lecce in the winter but has reiterated his support for the Sportinguistas going into the European clash.
Speaking to reporters, Bojinov said that he will be behind the Lisbon giants and reiterated that they could go against the odds and secure a positive result at home.
"I'll cheer for Sporting, of course. I want them to win, with all my heart.”
“Man City are a great side but in life impossible things also happen.”
He also talked about his time in Manchester and said that the side had changed a lot since then.
"I played there, but the team at the time was very different then. Many players have changed. What I say to former teammates is that they are strong but with luck they can beat them in both legs. Sporting is also a great team and has a large squad,” Bojinov
was quoted as saying.
 Sporting take on Manchester City at home on the 8th of March and will be looking to score a goal or two, as they are likely to be restricted when they travel to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 in the second leg.
