Vieira on Benfica bonuses, slams Proença: Sporting favoured | OneFootball

Luís Filipe Vieira once again attacked Pedro Proença regarding the alleged favoritism of refereeing decisions towards Sporting. The candidate for the Presidency of Benfica gave an interview to CMTV, where he discussed the most important topics concerning the Club. He also criticized Cardozo for supporting Noronha Lopes.

"The FPF is riddled with a green sheet [alluding to Sporting]. Sporting has always been favored. Mr. Pedro Proença was elected and turned the Federation into a green sheet. He filed a complaint against me, and at the right time we will talk about it," Luís Filipe Vieira began, referring to the President of the Portuguese Football Federation.

The candidate for the Benfica elections continued: "All the bodies of the federation are Sporting supporters, even in the League the CEO is a Sporting fan. I am just waiting for the Public Prosecutor to speak about Mr. Pedro Proença. Any delegate who supported Mr. Pedro Proença is now employed there [at the FPF]."

The former President of Benfica also commented on the bonuses distributed by Rui Costa at the Estádio da Luz: "Why haven’t Benfica’s employees had a raise in four years? The bonus didn’t sit well with them, I know what they think of the Board, I know what they think about the bonus, Benfica Radio has 20 people and within BTV there are people who have been heavily penalized. He’s definitely not going to win votes with them."

"I said that someone earning two hundred and something thousand euros a year had to do something. Everyone who worked at Benfica knows what Mr. Rui Costa is like at work. He thinks of himself first, first it’s Rui, Rui, Rui, then it’s Benfica," Luís Filipe Vieira concluded, in a scathing attack on the current President of the club.
