Controversial boss: Our play-off hopes as slim as Benfica’s title chances | OneFootball

The AVS coach used a comparison with Benfica to reinforce the belief that his team is fighting for their goals. In the preview of the match, the coach highlighted a statistic he considers motivating for the group.

“I read this week that we have a three percent chance of reaching the playoffs, the same percentage that Benfica has of becoming champions,” he told Agência Lusa, emphasizing that despite the low odds, hope remains very much alive within the team.

The coach went further and highlighted that this type of scenario should serve as inspiration for his players. “As long as there is a percentage, there is hope, and I believe Benfica thinks the same way,” he added, drawing a parallel between the ambitions of the two teams.

Thus, João Henriques made it clear that, regardless of calculations or predictions, the focus is on fighting until the end, clinging to the idea that even minimal probabilities can become reality on the field.
