Wolverhampton coach Bruno Lage, the former Benfica coach, left a message to his fellow professionals who spoke at Club da Luz, although they were not in charge of operations, when he was managing the Eagles.
“When I left Benfica I didn’t talk about Benfica. While I was coach of Benfica, I answered everything about Benfica, while the other coaches who were away from him spoke about Benfica. Me, no. I, the Wolverhampton coach, answer for Wolverhampton, stressed in an interview with Sport TV, assuming he “rarely” sees the Reds’ matches and beyond. “I see when I get the chance, one or the other of the Champions League. As such, I did not follow our league,” he said, before ensuring that his fingers were crossed with the Portuguese teams (as well as the Eagles, as well as FC Porto, Sporting and SC Braga) in European competitions.
“Both for Benfica and the other teams. Our football needs this, this dimension. We have players who are at great levels, our team is getting great results, coaches who go everywhere with great results. Our country has to stop and think about it. We can have better football if we all look at what is essential, which is what happens within the four lines.”
