Benfica star on Bruno Lage situation: “I just do my job” | OneFootball

Samuel Dahl had difficulty articulating an explanation for Benfica's defeat against Qarabag, and refused to discuss the complicated situation Bruno Lage found himself in after the end of the match - the Portuguese coach would be dismissed just moments after this setback in the Champions League, with Rui Costa already having a replacement for the position.

"There aren't many explanations I can give. For me, we just need to know how to respond to this and play a better game next time. Every game is important, and we need to respond quickly," he said, following the referee's final whistle.

The Swede was also questioned about Bruno Lage's role in the locker room but refused to elaborate on a possible change in the team's technical command: "I have no opinion on that. I'm a player, and I do my part on the field."

"I train every day and give my best in every game when the coach decides to put me on the field. That's it," admitted Samuel Dahl, who has been a starter at left-back for Benfica since Álvaro Carreras' departure to Real Madrid for 50 million euros.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Samuel Dahl – valued at 7 million euros – has played 10 matches: five in the Champions League, four in the Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Super Cup. In the 833 minutes he played, the left-back delivered excellent performances and made one assist, against Nice, in the Champions League.
