Benfica lost this Friday to Porto (1-2) in the Bwin League round 27 classic, in a match in which the Eagles won, with an own goal by Diogo Costa (10′), but allowed the blue and white to recoup.
Speaking at the end of the match, Roger Schmidt suggested that his players are not at the level that fans are used to this season.
“It was a game with few opportunities for both teams. Today we were not in the best shape, with the ball and without the ball. We didn’t have as many opportunities as the opponent, who had two and took advantage of them. We played at a very high level for a long time, and today we saw what football can be like. The fans were very supportive even when we didn’t play so well. They believe in us. We have another big game on Tuesday [Inter Milão para a Liga dos Campeões]. We must recover quickly. We must look ahead,” he said in one voice into the microphones of the BTV.
