Villas-Boas fixated on Benfica, hits out again at Portugal’s biggest | OneFootball

Two days after speaking of the “holy alliance” he believes exists between Benfica and Sporting, André Villas-Boas once again fired shots at his rivals. The Porto president spoke of a “brown cloak” upheld by “commentators” who “seem to have already founded a new club” on Segunda Circular.

“The victory in the derby therefore had a meaning that went beyond the pitch. We beat our opponent and answered the arrogance of those who spent weeks trying to belittle Porto, its fans and its working group. There were insults, fabricated suspicions and attempts at pressure, served up in monologues where extreme club bias replaced any opposing view. The commentators of the ‘Brown Cloak,’ that mix of green and red which so well reflects the alignment of Segunda Circular, seem to have already founded a new club,” he said in the latest edition of Dragões magazine.

The former Dragons coach believes the two Lisbon rivals control the media in order to attack the northern club. “We still do not know their stadium, but their headquarters operate out of various studios and their communication policy is perfectly coordinated: the need to attack and belittle everything connected to Porto,” he added.

André Villas-Boas ended his text by saying that the Clássico result was fair. “The blood pact is such that the less attentive viewer may even end up confused about each one’s club colors. Our team did not need to answer them on the microphone,” he concluded.
