Vasco Seabra hits out after Arouca defeat: Benfica weren't doing anything | OneFootball

Vasco Seabra lamented the two initial penalties against Arouca, in the match with Benfica that, in his opinion, came against the run of play. The Arouca coach spoke to BTV microphones in the usual flash interview and gave his analysis of the match.

"It has to do with moments in the game. Benfica wasn't doing anything and got a penalty goal. Then they weren't doing anything to get the second and scored again from a penalty. These are situations that unlock the game," Vasco Seabra began to explain.

The Arouca coach continued: "I remember last year, Benfica had three chances in the first 30 minutes that we cleared off the goal line. Those balls didn't go in and propelled the game into uncertainty, making Benfica more anxious and us more mature."

"Today we weren't allowed that. I'm not questioning whether they were penalties or not, but in terms of competitive organization, the team was competing and wasn't being overwhelmed," Vasco Seabra then stated, explaining that the result doesn't reflect what the game was between the two teams.

In conclusion, Vasco Seabra explained that the team shouldn't fall after this heavy defeat, as there's still a long way to go until the end of the first half of the championship: "I don't think it's a drama, but these are moments where we can do better. A lot of belief in the team. We want to finish the first round well."
