Luís Filipe Vieira responded to Pinto da Costa about the moment when Benfica broke relations with FC Porto, accusing the president of the dragons of lying. “There are witnesses to this conversation. Yesterday I spoke with one of the people who were there and he told me how it is possible to lie so much. There is no point talking about the rest. It is a fact, this is a fact. Six people were there and they listened to everyone. The others who call me a knocker, ”said the eagle leader, in an interview with Sport TV. Vieira, 71, had guaranteed that the meeting had been attended, in addition to him and Pinto da Costa, also by António Salvador, Júlio Mendes, Soares de Oliveira and Antero Henrique.

Regarding the Coimbra meeting, Pinto da Costa reiterated that Vieira “lacked the truth.” “I am not saying that he lied because he may have memory lapses, because he is in a difficult period. It is true that there was talk of a candidate for the League, as he was in a chaotic situation as a result of the management of Mr. Mário Figueiredo, supported by Benfica ”, stressed the leader of the Blue and Whites.

In addition, Vieira commented on the response of Frederico Varandas, whom he called Pinto da Costa a “bandit”. “When a person is dislocated, it is normal for the other person to respond as well. It is natural for this to happen ”, he stressed, asking once again for the intervention of the entities that manage Portuguese football to guarantee stability.

“It is true that I have already said that this happens both for the Federation and for the League. If both institutions agree, this will also calm down. Presidents have to understand each other. If each side pulls towards you, it will be difficult. [A solução da situação] It won’t be me At this moment, Benfica left the [direção da] Call, as you know. I hope I don’t go back there. We let things continue as they are ”, said the president of Benfica.
