Luís Filipe Vieira pokes fun at Rui Costa using Sporting: The legacy is... | OneFootball

Luís Filipe Vieira stated that Sporting's back-to-back championship wins are Rui Costa's 'fault'. The candidate for the presidency of the rival from the second circular was present at another gathering of his list during the campaign leading up to the elections at the red emblem, and mentioned the Alvalade Club.

"The legacy of the current president is Sporting's back-to-back championship wins. Sporting. Benfica does not have competent sports management today. It's error after error. Our rival, who hadn't won for decades, won two consecutive championships… under this mandate," Luís Filipe Vieira began by saying.

The former president of Benfica continued his criticism of Rui Costa: "We spent hundreds of millions… to win just one championship. 500 million were invested to win only four titles out of 16 possible. Today, we are a club adrift. We don't win in Portugal, nor do we win in Europe."

"Where is the European project promised by the current president? We are in October, with three games in the Champions League… and zero points. This is not Benfica. This is the Benfica of 'knows nothing, sees nothing, wins nothing'," Luís Filipe Vieira continued.

The candidates for the presidency of Benfica thus continue to use Sporting's recent success as a weapon against Rui Costa, something that has been common during the campaign. The elections at the rival from the second circular will take place next Sunday, October 23.
