Row! Ex-captain uses Pep Guardiola to slam Benfica: I felt sad when... | OneFootball

Luisão, former central defender for Benfica, once again took a dig at the Club of Light. After several attempts to calm the waters over the Gianluca Prestianni case, the former captain used Pep Guardiola as an example to say that he was forgotten when he left the Luz, when he announced his retirement.

“Football will always be about passion,” began the former 45-year-old centre-back in a post he made on social media. The Brazilian then shared Pep Guardiola’s farewell video to Manchester City, using it as an example to explain his situation with Benfica.

“I felt sad when I did so much for something and... in the end... it seems like it was nothing,” lamented the former 45-year-old footballer, implying that Benfica did not give him proper credit for his time at the Club of Light, where he won several titles and wore the captain’s armband for many years.

It is worth remembering that the former Eagles number 4 represented Benfica between September 2003 and June 2018, when he brought his career as a footballer to an end. At the time, during his farewell match, the Brazilian was given a ceremony on the pitch at the Estádio da Luz, which brought together several figures from the club.
