B. Costa Carvalho slams Sporting for 'whining' about Benfica, accuses Varandas | OneFootball

Bruno Costa Carvalho took to social media this Monday, December 29, to express his discontent with the refereeing team’s performance in the Braga - Benfica match last Sunday. Among his words, the former candidate for the presidency of the "encarnados" once again mentioned Sporting and Frederico Varandas, accusing the leader of the "lions" of dominating national football.

"On one hand, the new images completely remove any doubts, showing that the play is entirely legal, but the caption ruins everything. It's sad and makes any Benfica fan blush with shame. It's one thing for Mourinho to be ironic, quite another for Benfica's communication to do that. We seem like the new Sporting. It's embarrassing and highlights the incredible failures that Benfica's communication regularly exhibits", he began writing in a post on his Facebook.

"But Rui Costa also doesn't learn from his mistakes. His overly 'soft' stance with the FPF [Portuguese Football Federation] and Pedro Proença has constantly brought misfortunes to Benfica. We are harmed time and again while Sporting is systematically favored... And what does Benfica do? Issues statements that no one pays attention to anymore", continued Bruno Costa Carvalho.

While the businessman calls for Rui Costa to defend Benfica, he ends up mentioning Frederico Varandas again and the work he has done at Sporting, but with some accusations mixed in for the "leonino" leader.

"Frederico Varandas may have many flaws, but he knows how to defend Sporting and had no qualms about setting up a web that allows him to dominate Portuguese football. Rui Costa needs to rise to the occasion and truly defend Benfica. And the only way to do that is to dismantle this web that systematically harms us. The only question that comes to mind is this: What is Rui Costa waiting for?", he concluded.
