Rodolfo Reis says Benfica are playing terribly, slams key Eagles figure | OneFootball

Rodolfo Reis says that Benfica seemed like a “third division” team in Alverca and points the finger at Bruno Lage for his demeanor on the bench. The former Porto captain says that the Eagles' coach is to blame for the performance in Ribatejo, where the Club from Luz won (2-1), despite facing some difficulties in the final part, when Amar Dedic was sent off.

"Benfica is already putting a lot of pressure on the refereeing. There is absolutely no doubt about that,” highlighted the commentator, speaking in statements on CMTV. “Benfica does what it has to do, people defend Benfica's interests,” he began by saying, criticizing the Eagles' performance.

“It was a third division team. Wins the game without knowing how to read or write.” In this sense, the former footballer also emphasized that “Benfica has a positive start to the season, but the end of the match was from a Benfica of kick and rush and “nothing organized”.

Furthermore, Rodolfo Reis does not understand some of Bruno Lage's behaviors. The commentator mentioned that the fourth official should call the attention of the Eagles' coach for his behavior: “Whether you like it or not, Benfica continues to have some privileges that I do not understand,” stated the former footballer.

The Eagles will return to the field next Sunday, September 14, against Santa Clara. The match, counting for the fifth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the Azorean team led by Vasco Matos, will be played at 3:30 PM at Estádio da Luz.
