Fabio Coentrao has spoken to the press for the first time since leaving Real Madrid for Rio Ave, explaining how he waited for Sporting to make a move until the last minute and how he's content to sacrifice money for happiness.
Speaking to Record (h/t AS), Coentrao didn't hide his frustration with Sporting, where he spent the 2017-18 season on loan:
"I've waited until deadline day to receive contact from the club for whom I gave everything last season and I have not received no single phone call.
