João Noronha Lopes concluded with a speech to his supporters:

"Now, with all the names presented, the choice facing Benfica is simple and historic: we can continue to manage the past or we can build the future. We can keep lamenting what was lost or believe in what we still have to win. We choose the future, the work, and Benfica. And I promise you one thing: there will never be a lack of leadership, there will never be a lack of conviction, and never, never will there be a lack of Benfiquista spirit because Benfica is more than a club, it is the responsibility of a lifetime, a mission, and that mission starts today. For a united Benfica, for a respected Benfica, and for a Benfica that dares to dream again of its own greatness, just like that group of 28 young men who in 1904 believed they could create something greater than themselves. For Benfica Above All, for Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Long live the Glorious."
