Rodolfo Reis: Benfica playing poorly, slams key figure’s attitude | OneFootball

Rodolfo Reis says that Benfica looked like a “third division” team in Alverca and points the finger at Bruno Lage for his demeanor on the bench. The former Porto captain says that the Eagles' coach is to blame for the performance in Ribatejo, where the Club of Light won (2-1), despite facing some difficulties towards the end, when Amar Dedic was sent off.

"Benfica is already putting a lot of pressure on the refereeing. There is absolutely no doubt about that,” highlighted the commentator, speaking on CMTV. "Benfica does what it has to do, people defend Benfica's interests,” he began by saying, criticizing the Eagles' performance.

“It was a third division team. Wins the game without knowing how to read or write.” In this sense, the former footballer also emphasized that “Benfica has a positive start to the season, but the end of the match was like a Benfica of kick and rush and ‘not organized at all’.

Furthermore, Rodolfo Reis does not understand some of Bruno Lage's behaviors. The commentator mentioned that the fourth official should call the attention of the Benfica coach for his behavior: “Whether you like it or not, Benfica continues to have some advantages that I don’t understand,” stated the former footballer.

The red emblem will take the field again next Sunday, September 14, against Santa Clara. The match, part of the fifth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the Azorean team led by Vasco Matos, will be played at 3:30 PM, at Estádio da Luz.
