Nuno Gomes makes appeal ahead of Benfica elections: invites members to... | OneFootball

João Noronha Lopes presents, this Tuesday, October 7th, the lists of his candidates for the Social Bodies and Remuneration Committee. Present at the ceremony was Nuno Gomes, vice-president for football on Noronha Lopes' list, who spoke to Sporttv's microphones about the elections at Clube da Luz.

"Above all, we are ready, we have been working in recent months to be ready if João Noronha Lopes wins the elections", explained the former Benfica striker, who was once part of Rui Costa's management team.

The former Benfica player continued: "It is a list with very competent Social Bodies, with people full of leadership, which I think Benfica has needed for some time. People also with a lot of experience, as I said: we are more than prepared".

"The results, the people who will vote will not look at the results, naturally no one is happy with the results, but I invite the members to vote conscientiously, with an analysis of the mandate of the last four years. Managing a club is much more than what is seen on the field", Nuno Gomes further explained.

In conclusion, he spoke about the polls indicating a possible victory for Noronha Lopes - who also recently spoke on the matter: "In my opinion, it is gratifying and an indicator, but polls are what they are and we are not working by looking at them, but to be prepared to start working at Benfica from the 26th. It is important to have other lists to discuss Benfica's future and the most important thing is that on the 26th, Benfiquistas can have a new president, preferably João Noronha Lopes".
