Bruno Lage and his picks at Benfica: The decisions are... | OneFootball

Bruno Lage is currently launching the meeting of Benfica, who will receive Tondela, counting for the 3rd round of Liga Portugal Betclic. One of the points addressed was the use of Andreas Schjelderup and Kerem Akturkoglu, and the Setubalense once again clarified the situation.

Facing the journalist's question, the Setubalense began by emphasizing that the decisions are his responsibility and taking into account the work of the players: "The most important thing is to be clear about one thing: I'm the one who makes the decisions about the team and I have to look at the performance of the players on and off the field"

Next, Bruno Lage, who had little time to prepare for the match with the Beirões, reiterated that it's essential to be aware of the surroundings: "It's about understanding everything that's going on around, the context, the team's dynamics. And there's one thing that's also very important, which is the strategy for the game, choosing the best eleven"

Finally, he gave the example of the use of the two left wingers in the squad, prioritizing competitiveness within the squad itself: "In five games, Kerem played two, and Schjelderup played three. They must be competitive so that I can make the best decisions"

The Eagles return to Estádio da Luz, with the kick-off scheduled for tomorrow, August 23.
