The German favet shared his thoughts after playing with Casa Pie.

Benfica head coach Roger Schmidt commented on the draw result in the Portuguese Championship match against Casa Pi (1:1).

“To be honest, I’m even embarrassed that we wanted to win the game after losing to the Champions League. We wanted to perform well, and I think we did well, we showed good football. We knew that it would be difficult to create chances, because the opponent is very well protected from his penalty area and in the middle of the new.

Unrespectful on the ground, they repaired the vice. We scored the first goal, and there were two goals to win: the first - to score another, the third and fourth goals, and the other - to prevent the defense from winning and win with a score of 1:0. Unfortunately, we were not able to implement these options in practice.

We did our best, but were not effective, and in defense we made two great peaces. The first Trubin won a penalty, and the other one scored a goal.

There will be important hours in the future if nothing comes out of us. Football has always been like this. Benfica has nothing and defeat means the absence of success. Homemade nothings are those that do not harm anyone.

My job is to create a team and prepare them. One way to change anything is to win. This is our treasure. It is our responsibility to practice and be thorough, individually and collectively.. These are the ones we can work on right away,” the Eagles press service quotes Schmidt as saying..

After nine games, Benfica finishes the tournament table with the Portuguese championship, although they still have a few points behind Sporting, and the “Levies” have a game in reserve..
