Pinto da Costa responded to the recent interview with Luís Filipe Vieira in which the president of Benfica talks about the severance of relations with FC Porto in 2015

Luís Filipe Vieira interview: “I didn’t see the show, but then they told me and I went to see it two days later. I found this interesting interview on a talk show with a moderator and three representatives, one from each cube. Curiously, Luís Filipe Vieira appeared as an interviewee on a program that does not have interviews. Not even Benfica TV could bring Luís Filipe Vieira to give an interview. Otherwise, you would have to accept the other candidates. RTP may not have ethical problems, because it is the Portuguese who pay. It was important, because even at Benfica they are seeing what my fight is: that there is no exemption in many media, that is, RTP, that we all pay. In an electoral period, one of the candidates is taken to a program, who happens to be the current president, ignoring the others … even these candidates have verified that I am right. In the media, at all, there is no exemption. It is not for me to talk about the Benfica elections, unlike the president of Benfica who was a partner of FC Porto for two years, I never had anything to do with Benfica. “

Cut relationships: “There was a clear preference for a candidate. Not to mention the content of the interview. As for what he said about our breakdown of relationships, he lacked the truth and I am not saying that he lied because he may have memory lapses, because it is going through a complicated period “.

The meeting with Vieira at Quinta das Lágrimas: “I called Antero Henrique and told him that it was all a lie, that he had no head or tail. That meeting we had that he mentioned, I, the president of Benfica, the president of Sporting, the one from Braga and V. Guimarães and Antero, was in Quinta das Lágrimas, in Coimbra, suitable for anyone who wanted to cry, perfect with Luís Filipe Vieira present, it was true that there was talk of a candidate for the League, which was chaotic, the result of the management of Mário Figueiredo, supported by the Benfica. We all saw that it was necessary to change. Luís Duque’s name appears, who meanwhile talks to Vieira on the phone and then Vieira hands me the phone. From then on there is no betrayal, because Luís Duque was elected president of the League. That mandate was that there were several candidates and that is when the candidacy of Pedro Proença appeared. That meeting existed, it was not secret, there was nothing to hide. The one chosen was elected and Luís Duque fulfilled the mandate. Only then did Pedro Proença appear. He never did. could have er color relationships for a fact that did not happen. When I go to Quinta das Lágrimas, our relationships have been broken for a long time. If Luís Filipe Vieira has a memory lapse that asks Leonor Pinhão what year it was, she knows. “
