Costinha also guaranteed that Izmailov was "not expelled': "He wanted to leave the place of stage, and from the moment that both parties were heard made him happy. "

The director refuted, too, that the Russian hasn't place more in Sporting with him, and explained the lack of training.
"The Sporting knew that Izmailov had requested waiver to go to the consulate that day, but that doesn't mean it has been given. Izmailov was summoned to a meeting on Friday. I don't even know if Izmailov is in Portugal, if had nothing to hide would answered the phone. "
