Well-known fans react to Casa Pia v Benfica: a team without ideas | OneFootball

Benfica drew 1-1 with Casa Pia this Monday, April 6, consequently missing the chance to close in on Porto and Sporting. In that same vein, some familiar voices from the Eagles’ camp made themselves heard in response to the Eagles’ ‘slip-up’.

“A Benfica team without ideas, without any real style of play, and with many players underperforming. It ended in a draw, which could complicate qualification for the Champions League,” said the club’s former player, speaking to Record.

Economic analyst Camilo Lourenço also did not hide his dissatisfaction, telling the same outlet: “A midfield that gives no peace of mind to the defense. Rafa and Lukebakio should not have finished the 1st half. Too many missed goals... and they are sorely missed when you concede stupid goals. The fight for 2nd place is over.”

“Neither commitment nor quality. Ríos was the best on the pitch, but there are too many unfocused players. António Silva is asleep and ends up providing an assist for the goal. And I don’t understand Sudakov’s usefulness,” said Braz Frade, former Benfica director, speaking to the same newspaper.

It should be remembered that with this result, the Reds surprisingly throw away the opportunity to revive the title race by cutting the gap to Porto. Doing the math, Benfica remain in third place in the Liga Portugal Betclic, with 66 points, two points behind Sporting (68) and the Dragons, who remain top of the table with 73 points.
