André Pinotes Batista urges sacking of Benfica adviser for attack | OneFootball

CMTV has announced that it will file a criminal complaint against Gonçalo Guimarães, press officer for Benfica's first team. The channel presented an audio recording of an incident that took place this Monday at the start of a training session for the Eagles.

In the same recording, you can hear a conversation between the press officer and journalist Gustavo Lourenço, who asks the club employee if he was going to hit him again, alluding to a tense episode that occurred when the Eagles visited the Azores for the match against Santa Clara.

"I'll do it as many times as necessary," replied Gonçalo Guimarães, who started working for the club at the beginning of this season. On social media, André Pinotes Batista, a well-known Sporting supporter, is calling for his dismissal.

"Gustavo Lourenço, a journalist from CMTV, had already received a slap from press officer Gonçalo Guimarães for a banal question to Otamendi. Today, like a 'capo', he said he would hit him as many times as needed. Benfica, which has, until proven otherwise, zero responsibility, becomes complicit if it does not dismiss him," reads a post on the social network 'X'.

Last week, Gustavo Lourenço questioned Benfica players in public spaces about matters related to the club. The day before the match against the Azoreans, Gonçalo Guimarães slapped the journalist's hand when he again questioned a squad player.
