The management of Rui Costa was the target of serious accusations by Ana Garcia Martins, also known as A Pipoca mais doce. The Portuguese influencer accused Benfica of hiding her comments on the club’s social media pages whenever they are negative. Everything escalated after the draw with Santa Clara.
"This is not the first time this has happened: the Benfica page hides my comments whenever we drop points (they don’t delete them, because that would be too obvious, but no one can see them, so it amounts to the same thing)," the Portuguese influencer began to write.
A Pipoca mais doce, as Ana Garcia Martins is known to the masses in Portugal, continued: "Apparently, they don’t appreciate (some) members pointing out the issues. We’re only allowed to smile and wave. Considering how miserable our games have been, I think today [yesterday] I was actually quite mild. I’ve been a member for 36 years, I pay my dues, I try not to miss giving my support, at home and away, but I’m not here to say yes to everything. This censorship is regrettable. Bring on October".
To conclude, she revealed that this is not the first time such a situation has occurred: "Last year, we conceded five goals to FC Porto at the Dragão and the result was never published on Benfica’s page. At that time, obviously, I questioned this regrettable attitude and, once again, my question was restricted so that no one could read it".
