Focuses on "Nice, Nice, Nice" instead of addressing Sporting's complaint by Lage.
Benfica's Preparations for Champions League Play-offs Amidst Alleged Offenses
In the build-up to Benfica's crucial game against Nice in the Champions League play-offs, the focus has been predominantly on the team's preparations and strategies. However, a significant development has arisen off the pitch, as Sporting has filed a complaint against Benfica's manager, Bruno Lage, for alleged offenses against referee Fábio Veríssimo.
Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Lage has chosen to maintain a focused approach, avoiding any distractions before the game. During a press conference on Monday, Lage was confronted with the complaint but chose not to respond.
The complaint, filed with the Disciplinary Council of the Federation, seeks an exemplary punishment for Lage. The alleged offenses are said to have occurred during a previous match, but the exact date and further details are not currently available.
Meanwhile, the team's training sessions have been progressing well. Aktürogğlu, in particular, has been impressing Lage during Monday's training session, and he could be an option for the upcoming game.
Unfortunately, Benfica will be without the services of Bah, Nuno Félix, Bruma, and Manu, who are all unavailable for the game due to various reasons.
Lage's primary focus remains on advancing to the Champions League play-offs, and he may opt for two strikers in the upcoming game. The team's performance in the training sessions and Lage's strategic decisions will be crucial in determining Benfica's fate in the tournament.
As the investigation into the allegations against Lage continues, it remains to be seen how this development will impact Benfica's campaign in the Champions League play-offs.
