Luís Filipe Vieira maintains that Benfica “cannot return to anarchy” that “almost condemns” the club “to disappearance” and presents himself, in an article written in Expresso, as the candidate for the presidency with the capacity to “continue the 20 years of work. “
The leader of the eagles, who yesterday said that Rui Costa would be the future of Benfica, wanted to “discard the idea” that he will name a successor. But he does not see in the candidacies of João Noronha Lopes, Rui Gomes da Silva or Bruno Costa Carvalho “strong leaders who guarantee the defense of Benfica or the innovation on the basis of which the club has grown and consolidated in the last two decades. “. “We cannot make the leap into the unknown,” he shot, to warn: “The new expectations cannot be based on populist or demagogic bases.”
Vieira justifies the absence of debates with the other candidates with what happened between Donald Trump and Joe Biden: «The debates became, as we saw in the last one between the candidates for the US elections, in moments of media uproar that did not contribute anything, but that can accentuate ruptures that I want to avoid at all costs. I never refused to debate, but I realized that the reason for the requests was not to clarify, but to provoke.
