Marco Silva's reaction after the triumph of Benfica before Vitória SC

Marcho Silva, Benfica's coach, in statements to BTV, soon after the triumph before the Vitória SC (2-0), this Sunday, in play of the 8th journey of the I League.

Analysis: “First very good half hour of our team. Good football, good dynamics, energy, we had a reaction when we lost the ball. We managed to be patient with the ball, something that later, for no apparent reason, was missing in the second part.”. 

Moved in the second part: “At first it was to refresh. Players who did not have many minutes in the selections ended up feeling more tired. For 15 days, routines are very altered. The reality is that getting into the game right and then we felt it. Leandro already had yellow and it was important not to risk it. Fredrik would take it easy with the ball and we need control of the game. Claudio to give us what Prestianni was giving, but put Prestianni in the hallway and have that connection inside. They had an impact, but we had to change that idea with Bah's discomfort, which made a huge effort to play. Fredrik went to the right corridor and Sudako went to the middle. He went in well and made his contribution with the goal, which was something he'd been looking for for for a while. It was important to him”. 

Sudakov will gain confidence: “ All players need goals. Of course, our offensive line players need it. The Sudakov this time managed to achieve an important moment in the game. Congratulations to him and the team, because that's three important points. Return to play at home after many weeks without being with our supporters, who were again over 60,000 in the Light with the team. In the second part we cannot control as well as we like to do, but the reality is that we have not given the opponent practically an opportunity. There's a cross, in the terminal phase, and the ball ends up hitting the pole. Besides, Victoria didn't have a shot at a goal. Important win, very important win without suffering goals and three more points for us”.
