Marco Silva, Benfica's coach, gave the preview for the game against Marítimo, a match in the Portuguese League. The coach launched a cycle of several games in a few days, which implies a more demanding squad management.
The coach addressed the importance of keeping players out of the comfort zone. According to Marco Silva, it is essential that footballers are not too comfortable in the team, as this can harm the collective performance.
The coach also warned that knowing you always play is not positive for the athletes. This statement comes in a context where squad rotation becomes essential to maintain competitiveness throughout a packed schedule.
