Roger Schmidt stands by decision to leave David Neres on bench in Benfica’s win

Asked why he left David Neres on the bench – the Brazilian came on at half-time to replace Gilberto – Roger Schmidt showed no regrets.

′′ I’m the one who makes eleven, I have to make decisions, Neres wasn’t the only one on the bench. He did very well when he came on, I made the best decision », said the German, who did not want to promise the fans the title in Portugal, at a time when the eagles are four points ahead of FC Porto.

«I promise nothing, the only thing I can promise is that we will fight in the last six matches of the championship.»
