December 31-in a Portuguese Super League match that ended early this morning, Braga won a surprise 3-0 victory over Benfica. After the game, Benfica coach Roger Schmidt accepted an interview with the media.
“I don’t know if this is Enzo’s last game at Benfica. He is a great player and he has been a great player since he came to Benfica. He did a great job.
Something will happen in the football world, the players have to make a decision and we will see what happens next week. ”
Speaking of the game, he said: “to be honest, it’s hard to explain.” We didn’t expect to play like this. We had a good week and everyone was in a good mood, but it was different on the pitch. Our attack was not good enough, we were far apart, we were not aggressive, and we lost a lot of confrontations. We have proved that it is very difficult to keep level on the football field and win so many games. We have won a lot in the past and today we realize how difficult it is. ”
“I think we can always discuss some of the team’s decisions. In the second half, we tried to play more in the middle of the attack. We have a chance right away and it would be great if we could score a goal. But Benfica had no attacking efficiency, so Braga won in the end. ”
