Benfica double winner backs Rui Costa and José Mourinho: all about ability | OneFootball

Artur Moraes gave high praise to Rui Costa and José Mourinho last Tuesday. At the inauguration ceremony of the 1904 Benfica Hotel - where the President of the club gave a speech -, the two-time champion with the club defended the daily work and dedication of the top leader of the Clube da Luz.

When asked about the President of the Eagles, the former Brazilian goalkeeper responded without hesitation: “No one knows Benfica better than Rui Costa, no one knows the demands of Benfica better than Rui Costa and I am sure of his competence and his daily dedication to the club. He has been trying, in the best way, to provide the best for the coach to work with.”

“Without a doubt, Mourinho is the right coach. Since he arrived, he has brought a lot of experience and something very important, which is his greatness. I believe Benfica is very well led, and now it will be a matter of organizing the pieces, giving time for his work to take effect, and for Benfica to become more competitive than it is today,” said Artur Moraes, in statements to the newspaper Record.

With the poor performance of the team throughout this season, the Brazilian did not hide his sincerity: “It is a disappointment. No one is happy with the number of points the team is from first place in January. I am sure they are preparing for the future, but they cannot forget that the results of the present are always important for a club with the pressure and greatness of Benfica.”

“It will be a very difficult game against Braga, where they played recently and did not have a positive result. They will have the opportunity to go to the final and win a trophy, which would be the second of this season, but it would only be fulfilling a goal and will never compensate for the League,” concluded the former Benfica goalkeeper.
