Resigned after Benfica v Gil Vicente, César Peixoto says we did our best | OneFootball

César Peixoto has not yet fully recovered from the defeat against Benfica. The Gil Vicente coach had considered at the time that the defeat was 'unfair'. However, a week later, the former player of the reds wants to leave the past behind and focus on the next challenge.

Before launching the match against the tricolors, the Portuguese recalled the visit to the red Cathedral and shared a sentiment with the journalists: "We played a good game at Luz, but we didn't bring anything from there, which was what we wanted. They praised the performance, it feels good, but it doesn't distract us from our path".

"It's another game, another story. The team is confident despite not having won, it knows what it did, but we know we're going to face E. Amadora, which is a tough team, having earned four points in the last games. A team that changed its coach, which leaves us uncertain about what they might bring already or not", added the former Benfica player.

"It's difficult to predict what will happen. The team will be prepared to be competitive, whether with a line of five or four. It's important that we stay focused on what we have been doing, what has made us competitive, and not abandon those values", explained Peixoto, revealing that he is expecting challenges.

However, César Peixoto recalls that the game against Benfica was hard to overcome, arguing that the team gave its all, but it's time to look ahead: "It has to be. We know that football is that game, we can't do anything, it's over. We feel enormous frustration, we played a good game and deserved to have brought something".
