André Pinotes Batista, commentator for CMTV, harshly criticized Benfica for the talk of a virtual championship related to refereeing cases, and argued that Benfica is not in first place thanks to... Vangelis Pavlidis - who is experiencing a downturn and was mentioned in an exclusive Glorioso 1904.
"The reason why Benfica is not in first place is much more the fault of Pavlidis than the referees, it's much more the fault of a season that started with one coach (Bruno Lage), the market closed, and the coach was changed," he said on the Liga D'Ouro program.
The Socialist Party deputy also spoke about another athlete: Richard Ríos. "It's more the fault of poor acquisitions. Paying 30 million euros for a Richard Ríos than the refereeing. Do they want to create a new league? They should make one with the failed transfers," he stated.
In conclusion, Pinotes Batista accused Benfica's management of distracting their fans. "What has happened on the field is what you see in the standings. Stop feeding nonsense to the fans of the big three, because with passion people stop seeing clearly", he expressed.
