Benfica’s re-elected president, Luís Filipe Vieira, delivered his victory speech early Thursday. The eagle leader highlighted the participation in the polls.
«The Benfica fans gave a unique display of vitality. No club has voted so much and in such a decentralized way in Portugal. I am proud to lead a club with this ability to mobilize and to be present when asked to make a decision. Winning the most competitive elections in history is a pride. The partners have decided and the results are clear, so I hope everyone takes responsibility. From now on there are no winners or losers, but fans who will continue to join the club. I hope they respect the results, so that now there is only one club, “he began by saying.
Starting the sixth term, Luís Filipe Vieira confirmed that it will be the last and left a message to FC Porto, which presented a loss of 116 million euros this Wednesday.
«My last term begins today. It is that of continuity, betting on the good we have done and correcting the mistakes made. I am a man who is happy and proud of my time at Benfica and I am happy for the trust that the Benfica fans have placed in me for the sixth time. It will be four demanding years, in which we will be strongly challenged, but we will know how to respond to history. I would also like to reinforce, on a day like today, that Benfica has had positive accounts for seven years, “he concluded.
