The controversy over the Jamor game between B SAD and Benfica is still very much alive and Carlos Carvalhal anticipated the questions on the subject to give an example that he lived in England. Without directly answering the question, the coach’s opinion on the matter was well understood.
«I want to straighten out the topic by saying just the following: when I was coaching Sheffield Wednesday, I had a game in Bolton in which an FA delegate [Football Association] came to me to inform me that the start would be delayed 30 minutes, because there had been a serious accident on the highway and the fans were being held back. He didn’t ask me for anything, he just told me about the delay in case I wanted to take the team out of the warm-up. In other words, the FA decided that the game should only start when the supporters could be present. This is my answer to that question”, said the coach, clearly in favor of a firm position of someone who could have avoided everything that happened at Jamor on Saturday night.
