António Raminhos hails historic Benfica win over Real Madrid | OneFootball

António Raminhos emphasizes that the performance against Real Madrid last Wednesday was one of the best that Benfica has produced this season. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, the comedian not only praised the Club, but also believes that the ‘play-off’ will be tough. In addition, the well-known supporter also spoke about José Mourinho and the great performance of Andreas Schjelderup.

“I think it was one of Benfica’s best games, if not the best performance of the season, but Benfica continues to falter at extremely important moments. And I think that’s what has made the main difference in games where Benfica is playing well. They don’t score, concede a goal, often also as a result of defensive errors and then, obviously, morale drops,” he began by saying in an exclusive interview with Glorioso 1904.

Asked about his preference between Real Madrid or Inter Milan as opponents in the ‘play-off’, António Raminhos has no favorites: “There isn’t one. The most suitable opponent could be one of these, but in the final, not in the play-off. Inter Milan has had two finals recently. Real Madrid was in a different position, so, when eliminating Real Madrid’s players, [they] will give everything. Inter Milan or Real Madrid, either one will be very difficult.”

Regarding his opinion about José Mourinho’s future as coach of the Eagles, the comedian prefers something different: “I would like to see José Mourinho’s future as a ‘manager’ of a team, not as a coach, but as a ‘manager’, like in English football, as Ferguson was at Manchester United. I think it could be interesting, because I think Benfica’s problem is much more than just the coach, it’s a structural problem.”

Concluding his conversation with Glorioso 1904, António Raminhos highlighted how important Andreas Schjelderup is for the Reds: “I’ve always liked him, I already knew him when he played in his home country and he’s a kid that I think can have a good future. I don’t know if it was true or not that he was about to leave, so I don’t know if that will really happen. I like Schjelderup, Benfica needs wingers, I think that issue is resolved”.
