Bruno Lage denies Sporting's claim as being untrue
In the world of Portuguese football, the focus is on Benfica as they prepare for their league debut against Estrela da Amadora this Saturday. The team, under the guidance of coach Bruno Lage, is gearing up for the match at Reboleira, following their absence in the first league round to concentrate on their elimination game with Nice.
Despite the ongoing investigation by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) into a complaint lodged by Sporting directors accusing Bruno Lage of insulting the refereeing team during the Supertaça, the coach has continued his duties without interruption. No immediate suspension or ban has been enforced, and the details of the alleged incident have not been disclosed.
The press conference before the league debut discussed various topics, one of which was the Sporting's complaint. However, Bruno Lage expressed no concern, maintaining a focus on the upcoming game against Estrela da Amadora.
Meanwhile, the future of player Enzo Akturkoglu is a topic of interest. Akturkoglu is expected to play in the league game, but he has received an offer to leave Benfica. During the press conference, the possibility of his departure was discussed, but no specific details were disclosed. Akturkoglu did not elaborate on any potential move to Fenerbahçe or being coached by José Mourinho.
Unfortunately, Benfica will still be without Tomás Araújo for their league debut, as he will remain absent due to injury.
As the investigation into the Sporting's complaint against Bruno Lage continues, the focus for Benfica remains on the upcoming league game against Estrela da Amadora. The outcome of the investigation and any potential transfer for Akturkoglu will have to wait for another day.
