After losing to Famalicao (2-0)Otamendi took over Benfica’s “poor season”. In a flash interview with Sport TV, the Benfica centre-back and captain apologized to the people they had supported throughout the season, noting that Benfica “don’t have time, they’re a club where you have to be ready to compete and win titles.” “
“The result we wanted, of course, was not the same. We lost the opportunity to continue to compete today. It was a very bad season for us. At the team level, at the personal level, individually… We did not achieve results.” Play competitively as hard as you should. In the Champions League, in Europe, in the championship we had ups and downs, and the same thing happened in the semi-final of the Cup… We need to think about what we did wrong during the match. entire season and apologized to the people who supported us throughout the season. They spent money to support us all season and we weren’t able to do it. This is not my decision, but a communication decision. Difficult moments, and I have never been able to defend myself in this sense. I have no problem getting up when things get tough. When things are going well, I prefer it to be other people.
And he continued: “They were [embora] important, competitive players who are also used to winning. New players have arrived, to a new club, to another dimension. Benfica does not have time, this is a club where you need to be ready to compete and win titles. It’s about making as much money as possible. Unfortunately, we were not able to do this this season, and we will try to spend the next season in the best possible way, without making the mistakes we made this season. Wear the jersey and present it the way it deserves to be represented.”
