Another day, another volley fired in the ongoing drama surrounding the famous football club, Benfica. Cristóvão Carvalho, a strong voice hoping to become the club’s next president, has sharply criticized Luís Filipe Vieira. Vieira is the former president, and his recent interview on the NOW channel sparked Carvalho’s anger.
Carvalho claims Vieira simply keeps people guessing. He has done this for months. Vieira does not say if he will run for president again. He offers no fresh ideas. He takes no clear stand. Instead, Carvalho says, Vieira just adds to the confusion. He criticizes everyone. He stirs up trouble. He tries to stay important by using Benfica’s name, according to Carvalho.
The lawyer, Carvalho, made his point clear. He believes Vieira spoke again, but said nothing of real substance. “What exactly is Vieira waiting for?” Carvalho asked. He believes this constant uncertainty hurts the club. Benfica supporters deserve better, he argued. They need clear answers and serious discussions.
But Vieira keeps dodging his duties, Carvalho suggested. It is not enough to just pop up now and then. He cannot just drop hints and make headlines. Anyone who truly wants to help Benfica steps up. They show their face. They present a real plan. Vieira does none of this, Carvalho concluded sharply. He is only playing for himself. And Benfica fans have already figured that out.
