Benfica president Rui Costa was disappointed by fans’ “unfounded” abuse of coach Roger Schmidt during the Eagles’ clash with Farense on Friday.
“There is a campaign against Schmidt. I can’t help but regret what happened. In 120 years of history, we have never seen such a situation as yesterday. [sexta-feira]This is not the respect our coach deserves,” said the Reds leader.
The Red coach recalled Schmidt’s success in a season and a half, when he won the championship and the Super Cup, winning as much in one and a half seasons as the club has achieved in the last four years.
“I understand that we lost the game at home and that there is a different nervousness here, but I think the reaction of the stadium to our coach is completely unfounded, he deserves our respect and attention, and our trust, for the fact that he has done little and little this year what he did for Benfica, winning the league and the Super Cup,” he said.
This is how Rui Costa responded to a request to comment on the incidents during the home match with Farense (1-1) of the 13th round of the I League, namely the protest against the coach by fans who even threw objects in the indicated direction. according to Schmidt.
