The coach of Estrela da Amadora, Pepa, criticized the decision to postpone the third-round league game against Sporting Braga, considering it strange and outrageous that the field was rejected a few days before the match. The two teams were about to face each other in a delayed league game in an unusual situation in the sports calendar.
Estrela da Amadora was the home team in this match, which should have been played earlier but remained pending due to pitch conditions or other logistical factors. The postponement of the game with so little notice raised questions about the organization of the competition and stadium conditions.
Pepa publicly expressed his displeasure, suggesting the situation could have been avoided or resolved with more advance notice. The coach showed frustration with what he considered a lack of planning or communication between the parties involved in organizing the League.
Sporting Braga, as the visiting team, was also affected by this schedule change, which caused disruptions to the preparation plans of both teams. The delayed third-round game ended up being played on a different date than initially planned, requiring last-minute logistical adjustments.
