DECLARATIONS
Renato Paiva (Benfica B coach): “When two teams that want to win come together, they end up drawing … We always want to win, that is our matrix, no matter in which field and against which opponent it is. We knew it would be like this today. Teams that cause the rival to mistake, with very high defensive organizations, very pressing, that when they have the ball they know what they want. What saddens me in this game is that there were no more goals. “
Paulo Bernardo (Benfica B player voted best player): “It was a great game, with a lot of intensity. We couldn’t get out of here with the victory, but we have the notion that it was a great soccer match.
