The general director of football of Benfica takes stock of the time in the reds before heading to Italy and reveals regret for having chosen the policy of revealing the names of infected athletes, which he ensures that rivals do not follow.
In an interview with “BTV”, Tiago Pinto, Benfica’s general director of football, took stock of eight years at the club’s service now that he is leaving for Roma. After five years in the sport and almost three and a half years on the court of Team A, he makes the right and wrong decisions, with the pandemic leading the way.
“A CEO makes hundreds of decisions a day. If you do not regret any of them, it is because you have no concept or because you are very convinced. I am proud of the restructuring of scouting, with Rui Vitória having the Elite Player Group, in which 11 players worked on the route of the main team, such as Ferro, Jota, Gedson, João Félix or Florentino, I also regret many decisions. I had covid-19 at Benfica, to show the families, so that there was no discrimination. Today I feel sorry for the way they take the names of Benfica’s infected. I have no doubt that other clubs are hiding the cases, “he says, attributing part of the current lack of team capacity to the pandemic.
“Of course, we are aware of who we are and what we can do. The great teams in Europe are experiencing difficulties: this is not only due to the absence of fans, but the competition is concentrated with matches every three days and we had three stops for the national teams. That takes time from the coaches. The teams that changed coaches and need time to assimilate processes are more resentful, “he says.
