César Peixoto quits after Gil Vicente v Benfica: Football unfair today | OneFootball

César Peixoto did not hide his frustration with the result in Barcelos. At the end of the match, the Gil Vicente coach commented on the defeat against Benfica (2-1), stating that his team played on equal terms with the reds and that the score does not reflect what happened on the field.

You promised a Gil Vicente that would play on equal terms. Are you satisfied?

It was a balanced game. Those who came were satisfied. A draw would have been fairer, but that's football. Congratulations to Benfica for the victory. We once again showed the organization we have. A good game, proud of what we are doing. We played on equal terms against a team like Benfica. Eye to eye, no matter who it is. Today football was not fair to us".

Where do you think the difference was made?

"Effectiveness. We had about the same number of shots as Benfica, it was a very balanced game. Benfica was effective, and we were not".

If you don't finish in 5th place, do you consider it unfair?

"No weight. We are comfortable with what we are doing. We are proud of the work and the capacity of these players. I think people don't take it seriously, but I always say we have to lose, draw, or win in the same way. If we continue like this, we will be happy as we have been. We are not worried. Last year, we were fighting not to be relegated, and today we are playing like this and at the top of the table. We are not going to win all the games, we won't, but we will always look to win as we did today against Benfica. In no way were we inferior".

And did César imagine this season?

"I imagined we could have a good championship. Sixteen players left, people don't even think about that. We believed a lot in the preseason work, the group, and the players. Now it's about continuing with the work. They know they played a good game, they are upset because they know they played a good game".
