Benfica title winner absolves Bruno Lage of blame: just choices | OneFootball

Ferro - who made headlines in the last transfer window - bears no resentment toward Bruno Lage. The assurance was given by the player himself, who, in an interview, commented on the Benfica coach’s departure after the 3-2 defeat to Qarabag in the Champions League. The now Estoril center-back also reflected on his career.

“It’s not mister Bruno Lage’s fault. He never blamed me for anything. There will always be a positive relationship, and not the opposite,” said Ferro, currently an Estoril player, when asked if he had been hurt by the former Benfica coach for the way he removed him from the team in the past.

“Regarding his departure [Bruno Lage], these are choices, as will always happen, whether at Benfica, Porto, Sporting, or Estoril. The decisions about who plays and who doesn’t, whether the coach stays or leaves, it’s not for me to comment on,” Ferro added, in an interview with Notícias ao Minuto.

“At the time, I was a bit hurt, but I was also very young to understand, to grasp what the world of football is. Mentally, I fell. The dreams that I thought, at the time, could be achieved didn’t happen,” Ferro concluded, commenting on his path at Benfica with Bruno Lage.
