João Noronha López took the floor at the Extraordinary General Assembly of Benfica and, in addition to requesting calm for all present, appointed batteries in the direction Rui Costa had led, both for the way the October elections had been called, but also for the “disrespect of the legitimate request of a group of partners, Change the summons to try not to agree to the electoral lists here.”

“That’s the future we’re talking about today, but it’s impossible to talk about the future without looking at the past. The president has already said he wants more transparency, but in saying that, in addition to saying that he didn’t. Exist before…what It matters not what was said, but what was done. These governing bodies have already had two opportunities to show that something has changed and failed in both. They organized an electoral process in a hurry. It is not a matter of it being sooner or later. It was done in a hurry, without Pre-set rules, which will not allow us to discuss in depth why we are here today and how we can build the future of Benfica. The electoral regulations have not been approved here,” he began by pointing out.

“This is unacceptable and not befitting the sport of Lisbon and Benfica. In Benfica, there is no joke in the General Assemblies. We have to respect the partners and Benfica’s past. At this moment, transparency is losing 2-0. Nothing unites the Benfica players more than one. A clear and transparent direction. We want Going back to the time of Benfica against the Benfica fans? Who benefits from this? Benfica? Who benefits from our opponents who laugh in our faces. But unity is also achieved in other ways, with the exception of one team whose members do not make us return to the pages of newspapers for the worst reasons.”
