aThis Thursday, Antonio Figueiredo gave an interview to Radio Renacenza, in which he pointed the finger at Roger Schmidt, after the defeat that Benfica suffered against Estoril, on penalties.
Club da Luz was eliminated in this way from the League Cup final (where the Canarias will face Sporting de Braga, who left Sporting behind), so, in the opinion of the former vice-president, the German coach is obliged to do so. To present results, to justify continuing in the position.
“Especially after what the coach said, I can't understand how Musa is not an option. So if he is in good condition, this is not an option? Then handing the penalty to a young man.” [Tomás Araújo]…And the substitutions are always late.”
“He has to make the switch when the clock is ticking, when the clock is ticking. The way things are going, he either wins the championship, wins the Europa League or I don't see him being able to do it.” Continuous,” he continued.
He concluded his speech by saying: “From the people I talk to, there is great frustration and there are people who are very angry. They no longer trust the coach. The worst that can happen is that we no longer believe.”
