Benfica coach Bruno Lag revealed the reason for his consultation with the team player Orconi Kokcho on the bench after his replacement.
Kotkcho came out in the 60th minute and the result indicates 2-0 Benfica and compensated for Renato Sanchez.
The lenses picked up a verbal altercation between him and Laj, the coach, after scoring the alternative to the third goal in the 62nd minute.
“He has always responded on and outside the field. It is an individual accident. I have seen that throughout the year he was behaving very well, on the field and outside it,” Laj said at the press conference.
“It is the player’s desire to score more goals and help the team. I have come out, and I always make the decisions that I have to make, regardless of his identity, and I have proven this again and again. I watch the moment of each player and the moment of the match, and I make decisions with a comfortable conscience.”
“It is the will to win. Kotkcho wanted to win, he wanted to score more goals. From abroad, we realized that to score more goals, Renato Sanchez should enter a substitute. Renato entered wonderfully, and after two minutes he scored the goal.”
“Regardless of the players’ performance, I am the one who makes decisions. In the previous match, I felt that Renato should start the match, and Kotkchu entered well helped us despite the numerical deficiency in the tie. Today I felt that we had to go out with Renato’s entry, and this was my decision. “
