César Peixoto warns Mourinho before Benfica v Gil Vicente: controversies | OneFootball

César Peixoto hopes that the Benfica – Gil Vicente match will not be marked by any controversy. In the preview of the match valid for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, the coach also commented on the reunion with José Mourinho and warned that the Gil Vicente team wants to triumph at the Estádio da Luz.

"I hope it's a good game, that there are three good teams on the field and that these small controversies surrounding the last game do not affect and do not condition anything or anyone. But that it is a good game between two teams that will want to fight for the three points, that will want to take control of the game," César Peixoto began by stating.

"We have been in an upward phase, both in terms of results and even in terms of performance. But, as I have said before, we are not getting carried away. We know there is still much to grow, individually and collectively,” continued César Peixoto, in the preview of the Benfica - Gil Vicente.

"We know we will face an opponent with a lot of individual quality, a great stadium, a full stadium, a team that fights for the title and that will pose many challenges for us. We have to be 100 percent focused on ourselves, but also knowing that we will face a strong team that will counter us,” said César Peixoto.

"I wasn't expecting to meet him again so soon, but anything is possible in football. It ended up happening. It's true that he was my coach, it's true that he was the coach who signed me from Belenenses to Porto at the time. We won a lot together, but right now he is the coach of Benfica, I am of Gil Vicente, and I want to beat him,” concluded César Peixoto.
