Martim Mayer blasts Sporting star: “He’s let Benfica down” | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas received a piece of Martim Mayer's mind. The candidate for the presidency of Benfica reacted to the statements of the president of Sporting, in a statement, following the red complaints of benefits made to the green and white emblem.

"I heard and read with perplexity the comments of the President of the SCP about the moment of elections in Benfica. As a candidate for the presidency of SLB, I would like to ask him for tact and responsibility and ask that he not do it again, reminding him that he should only worry about the life of his club. In similar circumstances with people with whom I have friendship and who are close to me, I would instinctively say a 'Mind your own business', began by writing Martim Mayer.

The candidate for the presidency of the Benfica continued: "As for the refereeing issues he focused on, I still personally believe that more than 4 months after the final of Jamor, the institutional apology from Sporting that is overdue to Benfica will appear at any moment. Regarding this matter, I note that if it is the will of the Benfica members that in 25 days I am the president of the club, if this apology continues to be missing, I will immediately request a face-to-face meeting for which I plan to bring the following topics".

"1) The guarantee that the SLB presided over by me, will always assume any errors of the same nature and of equal gravity as being unconditionally disastrous for Portuguese Football, for the formation of the character of those who watch especially the young and for the values associated with sport in general, positioning itself alongside the injured club and athlete and issuing an irrevocable apology", pointed out Martim Mayer, as the first point.

The candidate in the Benfica elections continued: "2) To know what the availability of the President of Sporting is to confirm the adoption of the same stance with retroactive and immediate effects, regarding what happened in the Final of the Portuguese Cup last year and the move that resulted in the serious assault on the physical integrity of the Benfica Athlete and that was broadcast live to the whole country and to many other countries in the World".
