After another defeat, former Benfica man admits: We feel frustrated | OneFootball

In the aftermath of the match between Benfica and Gil Vicente, which ended with a 2-1 victory for the Eagles, César Peixoto still hasn’t managed to digest the defeat suffered at Estádio da Luz. In the press conference to preview the match between Gil Vicente and Estrela Amadora, the Portuguese coach once again praised his team’s performance.

Before previewing the game against the Tricolores, the Portuguese coach recalled the visit to the Red Cathedral and shared a candid moment with journalists: “We played a good game at Luz, but we didn’t bring anything back, which is what we wanted. They praised our performance, which feels good, but it doesn’t distract us from our path.”

“It’s another game, another story. The team is confident despite not having won, they know what they did, but we know we’re going to face E. Amadora, who are a tough team and have picked up four points in their last matches. A team that has changed coach, which leaves us uncertain about what they might bring already or not,” added the former Benfica player.

“It’s hard to predict what will happen. The team will be prepared to be competitive, whether with a back five or four. What’s important is that we stay focused on what we’ve been doing, on what has made us competitive, and not give up on those values,” explained Peixoto, revealing that he is expecting difficulties.

However, César Peixoto recalls that the game against Benfica was hard to get over, insisting that the team gave their all, but that it’s time to look ahead: “That’s how it has to be. We know that football is like that, we can’t do anything, it’s over now. We feel enormous frustration, we played a good game and deserved to have brought something back.”
