Vasco Matos anticipates match against Benfica and admits: "It hasn't been an easy month"

Record30 August 2026 at 16:57

Vasco Matos, Estoril's coach, spoke at a press conference about tomorrow's game against Benfica, which takes place at the Luz. The coach addressed the confrontation with the eagles and showed awareness of the challenge his team faces.

Estoril's coach admitted that it hasn't been an easy month for the team. This declaration suggests that the month of competitions brought difficulties or less positive results for Estoril.

The game is scheduled for the Luz, Benfica's stadium, which means Estoril will have to play away from home against one of the main candidates for the Portuguese title. This is a Liga Portugal match that pits two teams with different objectives in the standings against each other.

Winning without communicating is only winning half...

An opinion article in Jornal do Algarve criticizes Italian coach Francesco Farioli, of FC Porto, for not making any effort to communicate in Portuguese, even after 13 months at the club. The author argues that, although FC Porto is winning on the pitch — being the undefeated leader after three rounds —, it is losing the game of respect for the local community by continuing to hold press conferences and official communications exclusively in English and Italian. Comparing with examples like Bobby Robson, who spoke Portuguese in Porto, or Pep Guardiola, who learned German quickly, the author argues that this stance sends the message that the coach is "just passing through" and does not need the fans. He concludes that "winning without communicating is only winning half."
