Exclusive Glorioso 1904: Nuno Campilho responds to Mourinho’s dig | OneFootball

Nuno Campilho considers José Mourinho's criticism of Benfica's squad to be fair. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our newspaper spoke with the well-known fan who, besides agreeing with the words of the Special One, emphasizes that the coach should have also analyzed his own performance.

“Fair! Just lacked some self-criticism. But that's just me saying it, as I might not be a great expert,” Nuno Campilho began in an exclusive interview with Glorioso 1904, reacting to the statements made by José Mourinho at the end of the match against Braga, in which the coach admitted that Benfica did not deserve to win.

Following the criticism, the Special One announced that the squad would stay overnight at Seixal. When questioned by Glorioso 1904, the well-known fan recalled that it was not a sudden decision: “It was already planned, and it was President Rui Costa himself who publicly stated, asserting categorically that it was not a punishment.”

“An impact contrary to what a victory against Braga would have been and a consequent triumph in the final,” Nuno Campilho pointed out regarding the possible consequences of the elimination against the Minho team. In conversation with Glorioso 1904, the Benfica supporter stressed that a positive result would have helped Benfica face January with greater motivation and better consistency.

At a time when the transfer market has reopened, Glorioso 1904 also asked Nuno Campilho to comment on one of the possible signings: “André Luiz seems interesting to me. I just wonder if there isn't someone in the youth ranks who could meet the same requirements.” Regarding new signings, he added: “I have already said and reaffirm that Benfica should sign a pure ‘10’ and a striker.”
