Benfica near target, coach frustrated: I just want the window shut | OneFootball

Carlos Álvarez seems to be getting closer to joining Benfica and even Levante's coach, Julián Calero, has commented on the deal, which seems imminent. The Spanish team was defeated by Elche in their last match, and the coach did not hide his frustration regarding the transfer market.

"I have been focused on the game, which is the only thing that occupies and concerns me, and I can't control the rest. So, well, any player that could leave at this time would not be good news, but the situations of the market are what they are and I can't avoid them. And the needs of a club like ours are very large economically and I understand all situations", Julián Calero began to explain.

Carlos Álvarez's coach continued: "So, what I really want is for the market to close and to be able to focus people on what we are going to do and prepare the team as it should be for the return of the break, to get back into the dynamic of competing well".

Speaking specifically about Benfica's target, he said: "It's bad because we lost and when we lose we all feel very bad, and that's the reality. Before the game everything was fine, I was calm, eager to play, I put him in because I think he is an important player for us and from here, of course, it's bad because we lost the game, but not because I'm thinking about something else".
