Benfica coach analyzed the 4-0 victory against Famalicão
After the 4-0 victory over Famalicão, Bruno Lage, Benfica coach, was satisfied with the Reds’ performance. The Eagles’ coach says he was “indebted to the fans” after the defeat against SC Braga and congratulates Leandro Barreiro, scorer of three goals.
— An analysis of the victory, less than 72 hours after the Portuguese Cup triumph, with Farense.
— A fair victory. It was a consistent performance, with four goals, against a difficult opponent, with good dynamics. Therefore, we are happy to provide two very good moments. We were indebted to our fans after the last home game [derrota por 1-2 frente ao SC Braga]. We started the game by showing the League Cup trophy and, on top of that, a good performance. 90 minutes in which we were consistent, with opportunities and goals.
— Benfica was very controlling, with Akturkoglu joining the striker a lot and Leandro Barreiro was Man of the Match with three goals.
-— We have been working on this a lot, with players working hard at the edge of the area. I want to see more of this type of movement. More diagonals, between defenses. The players have responded. Barreiro deserves this night for everything he has worked for, for all the progress he has had with us. He is playing in that position, where we feel he is aggressive and has a goal. I’m very happy with his performance and for scoring three goals.
— There is a new game on Tuesday, against Barcelona
— It’s about preparing in the best way possible. Unless I’m mistaken, in 14 days, we played five games. We won a trophy, we continued in the Portuguese Cup, we won another championship game and now it’s time to look at another competition. We know they are a difficult opponent, but we will have time to talk about it.
