Players will stay at club’s Seixal training ground
Benfica lost 3-1 to Braga in League Cup semi-finals
José Mourinho has turned on his Benfica players after the team’s 3-1 defeat by Braga in the Portuguese League Cup semi-finals, suggesting that the squad would be staying at the club’s Seixal training base until further notice.
“The players will sleep in Seixal, and on Thursday there is training, and the day after there will be training,” Mourinho said at his post-match press conference. “When we arrive in Seixal, everyone will go to their rooms.”
“I hope the players sleep as well as I do, which is to say that they don’t sleep at all,” Mourinho added. “That’s what I wish for them. That they don’t sleep and instead think a lot, like I’m going to.”
