Finalist coach of the Portuguese Cup, scheduled for Coimbra, against SC Braga, Jorge Jesus assumed that the National Stadium could never be the stage of the game, even if many Benfica fans defend the opposite.
«Turf has no conditions for there to be a final here. It is a beautiful stadium, it deserves a good lawn. I was raised here, in these surroundings, so many joys and sorrows in this stadium … », recalled the eagles coach.
After the game of round 22 of the League, however, there were repairs: «Turf sly. Belenenses SAD did everything possible, but the pitch was never quality. Illumination is also tricky, but it was good, even with these defects we all won 3-0. »
