                  Star man - Sougou

Speedy Senegalese forward Sogou teams up again with coach Domingos Paciencia after the two worked together successfully at Leiria. Given Paciencia’s firm belief in counter-attacking football – at least while at the helm of Portugal’s more modest teams – the lightning fast winger is likely to play a prominent role as Academica look to avoid last season’s brush with relegation.
