Bruno Costa Carvalho blames José Mourinho after Benfica v Rio Ave: weak | OneFootball

Bruno Costa Carvalho believes that José Mourinho's decision to place Franjo Ivanovic on the left side is "not a good idea". In the analysis of the draw between Benfica - Rio Ave, the former candidate for the leadership of the Club da Luz considered that the reds did not perform well.

"A very weak game from Benfica, with a series of misunderstandings from José Mourinho. Ivanovic on the left side is indeed not a good idea. This was the easiest of the three upcoming games, which worries me," said Bruno Costa Carvalho, in statements to Record newspaper, in the analysis of the eagles' draw.

In the match against Rio Ave, Benfica even opened the scoring, through António Silva, but the move would end up being invalidated by an alleged foul by Nicolás Otamendi. At the end of the match, José Mourinho did not hide his indignation at the VAR's decision, considering that the goal should have been legal.

"I don't like this football where the gentleman who was at the Football City was the protagonist. Now a goal is cancelled because a shirt was pulled," said José Mourinho, pointing the finger at the refereeing team, led by Sérgio Guelho, but also at the video referee.

After the one-all draw in Benfica - Rio Ave, the team led by José Mourinho will be back on the field next Friday, at 8:15 pm, at the Estádio da Luz, hosting César Peixoto's Gil Vicente. The game is part of the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic and the eagles are only thinking about victory.
