Jose Mourinho has already commented on the situation of António Silva, who was the Special One's choice in the defeat against Chelsea. According to the Portuguese coach, the number 4 of Benfica, walked off, which may indicate that nothing serious happened to the footballer trained in Seixal.

Present at the press conference, at Stamford Bridge, the Portuguese coach was confronted with the situation of the number 4, however, he provided some clarifications: ""António left injured, but he already walked off the field. Of course in these things, when dizziness arrives, more important than the game is the man"."

Further on, Mourinho explained that the defender's situation did not create many problems: ""The signal was immediate. And it didn't even create a dramatic situation for me, because it's one of the positions where on the bench we have a full-bodied player, very prepared like Tomás"."

Finally, about the case of António Silva, the Special One reassured Benfica fans again, stating that the Portuguese is well taken care of by the medical department of Clube da Luz and, moreover, does not show signs that dictate any extra concern: ""I think there are no problems for António to recover, nor is there a sign of concussion"."

"Gil Vicente had three or four dangerous transitions and Chelsea couldn't do it. Maybe it's a bit because of that. But thinking about the Champions it's a good sign, it gives us a guarantee to go to Newcastle, Amsterdam and Turin with the possibility of stealing points", mentioned Jose Mourinho, regarding what happened within the four lines.
