Dahl refuses to discuss Bruno Lage, reassures Benfica fans: For me, only... | OneFootball

Benfica was defeated at Luz by Qarabag (3-2) in the first round of the Champions League. Samuel Dahl could not find a justification for the result and refused to talk about Bruno Lage, who would be fired moments later, with Rui Costa already having a successor in mind.

"There are no great explanations I can give. For me, we just have to know how to respond to this and play a better game next time. All games are important and we must respond quickly", he said, after the referee's final whistle.

The Swede was also asked about Bruno Lage's role in the locker room, but refused to elaborate on a possible change in the technical command of the red team: "I have no opinion on that. I'm a player and I do my role on the field".

"I train every day and give my best in each game, when the coach decides to put me in. Just that", admitted Samuel Dahl, who has been a starter at left-back for Benfica since Álvaro Carreras' departure to Real Madrid, for 50 million euros.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Samuel Dahl - valued at 7 million euros - has played 10 matches: five in the Champions League, four in the Liga Portugal Betclic and one in the Supercup. In the 833 minutes he played, the full-back performed excellently and made an assist, against Nice, in the Champions League.
