Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell couldn’t escape from the criticism after Sporting’s 3-1 defeat to Rio Ave last Sunday.

CapturarAlthough the player had already started a home game against Moreirense and scored, Sunday’s match was considered to be his first big test in the starting team, but he didn’t do well and was replaced at half time.

Portuguese newspaper Record has an article on Tuesday talking about the performances of Campbell and Andre in the game, and the main arguments to complain about the Arsenal player are that he showed ‘little solidarity in defensive tasks’.

They claim he didn’t help to chase players and Rio Ave were more dangerous when playing on his wing.

But Record makes sure to remember that the attacker joined the club in the last week of the transfer window and was out on international duty, so he will need time do adapt to the manager Jorge Jesus’ ideas.

Whilst he does it, he’ll have to wait until he gets another chance.
