Mourinho questions Benfica's finishing despite their win: How is that possible? | OneFootball

Benfica's victory against Alverca (2-1) last Sunday, as part of the 21st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, was marked by the wastefulness of the team led by José Mourinho. This issue did not escape the coach after the final whistle.

"I think again, and I will rethink again, and I will sleep badly again. How is it possible to create so much, so much, so much and have so much difficulty in scoring goals?" criticized the "Special One" in statements in the quick interview area of BTV.

The 63-year-old coach continued to talk about this topic. "I don't want to talk again about the statistics, the shots, how many times we entered the opponent's area. I don't want to be monotonous and go in the same direction. But the way we have been playing is repetitive. We play well, create a lot, and score little", he stated.

Despite the negative criticism, José Mourinho highlighted the importance of the victory against the Ribatejo team. "We scored the second goal through the youngster and three super decisive points for our hope to climb higher", he concluded.

The waste of great chances had already been noticeable in Tondela, and Pedro Brinca, an economics professor, expressed his displeasure. "Except for Pavlidis, Benfica players show an unusual allergy to the opponent's goal," he confessed, in his column for the Record newspaper at the time.
