A famous Benfica fan took to social media to report a very unfortunate situation she experienced and criticized Rui Costa.
Rui Costa's management faced serious accusations from Ana Garcia Martins, also known as A Pipoca mais doce. The Portuguese influencer accused Benfica of hiding her comments on the club's social media, when they are negative. Everything escalated after the draw with Santa Clara.
"This is not the first time this has happened: the Benfica page hides my comments when we drop points (they don't delete them, because that would be too obvious, but no one can see them, so it amounts to the same thing)," the Portuguese influencer began to write.
A Pipoca mais doce, as Ana Garcia Martins is known by the masses in Portugal, continued: "Apparently, they don't appreciate (some) members pointing out the issues. We can only smile and wave. Considering the misery our games have been, I think today [yesterday] I was quite mild. I've been a member for 36 years, I pay my dues, I try not to miss supporting the team, at home and away, but I'm not here to say yes to everything. This censorship is regrettable. Bring on October".
To conclude, she revealed that this is not the first time such a situation has occurred: "Last year we lost five to FC Porto at the Dragão and the result was never published on Benfica's page. At that time, obviously, I questioned the regrettable attitude and, once again, my inquiry was restricted so no one could read it".
