Van der Gaag refuses to play the victim against Benfica

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo4 September 2026 at 16:49

Marítimo's coach, Van der Gaag, refuses to play the victim against Benfica. The Madeiran team returned to the top tier of Portuguese football and now faces one of the league's big clubs.

Van der Gaag views this match against Marco Silva's Benfica as an opportunity for the team to showcase themselves to the fans. The coach wants the team to demonstrate their worth regardless of the opponent's quality.

Benfica, with Marco Silva as head coach, arrives at this match as favorites due to the difference in stature between the two clubs. However, Marítimo intends to put on a good show for their home crowd in their first season back in the Primeira Liga.
