Bruno Lage performed the aftermath of Farense x Benfica. The meeting counted for the 10th round of the Primeira Liga and took place in the Algarve.
Bruno Lage analyzed Farense x Benfica, match from the 10th round of the Primeira Liga.
«We knew it would be a difficult game, due to the quality of Farense that doesn’t justify its position in the table, and the cycle of three games to be played with two days apart. We started the game well, Farense got the goal, we reacted and tied. We had a good start in the second half, we could have scored the third goal to kill the game. In the last minutes we managed to hold the game. It’s a fair result and it’s three more points. There are three games, 10 goals scored and only one conceded», said Bruno Lage.
«We look for shorter defensive shifts and more intense pressure. We tried to change the pressure, hence the substitutions, and I think it had an effect. Unpredictability? This is what we aim for with the daily work we do and looking at the characteristics of our players. We tried to look for surprises in the starting eleven and in the Farense team. Coaching Benfica offers this talent in individual terms, then it’s up to us to have these nuances. We have had competent people on the bench providing nuances, who leave the bench and help build the result», highlighted the Benfica coach.
«We look at the individual management of each player. The way we want to press and play with the ball, at speed, this cycle is almost impossible. With a squad like this we have to choose the best eleven depending on the characteristics. After these games, another cycle will begin with another day of recovery. We have to prepare the game in the best way possible with the ambition of winning. The victory belongs to the players, they fought and turned the score around», concluded Bruno Lage.
