In reaction to what was said by Rui Costa this Thursday, at a press conference at the Estádio da Luz, Eduardo Moreira made a point of praising the Benfica President. The journalist believes that the approach taken by the Eagles’ leader “was a strong and important kickoff”.

This appearance by Rui Costa was a strong and important kickoff. I think that all the questions that were raised will most likely be answered if Benfica get off on the right foot and manage to achieve what they set out to do,” he began by saying, in comments on A Bola TV.

As far as leadership is concerned, I think this approach taken by Rui Costa was very important, the way he did it and the answers he gave openly,” he stressed, then going on to address the position taken by José Mourinho over the past few weeks.

Eduardo Moreira: "

José Mourinho’s behavior throughout this whole process was the kind of behavior any coach should have towards a board, as soon as he feels it is the right moment to sense that sign of confidence.”.

In closing, Eduardo Moreira touched on the topic relating to Marco Silva. “It seems to me that Rui Costa held back, so to speak, on praise and on anything that could suggest Benfica wanted Marco Silva. He focused much more on the coach showing himself available to want the Club and understand its reality.
