The coach’s lawyer ensures that no offers have come before him … yet
With two classic games at Porto on the cusp, Jorge Jesus’ future could see development, especially if the results at Dragau are not as positive as the Reds directors and coach desired. Flamengo is still in search, the two directors are still in Lisbon in the process of choosing the future helmsman mengao, but O JOGO knows that nothing will be discussed until the 30th, the date of the second visit to Dragao, in the Bwin League game. with the first of the 16th Portuguese Cup round scheduled for this Thursday.
In Lisbon for several days and after publicly announcing their anticipation of meeting Jorge Jesus for coffee, Vice President Marcos Braz and CEO Bruno Spindel continue to meet Benfica’s coach on their agenda, although they are now trying to make it easier pressure. “I will not stay here and hope that Benfica will lose the game. Jorge Jesus will always be an option, but now he has a contract. This is not a problem, because when Luis Filipe Vieira left for Brazil, he had a contract. while it is open, I never met or spoke to him out of respect for Benfica, the games they play and out of respect for Jorge Jesus, ”Marcos Braz told SIC Notícias.
However, comments made by attorney Jorge Jesus for CNN Portugal shortly thereafter left no room for doubt about the timing and expectations of the Brazilian leaders. “Probably, and despite the fact that he was a man of unbreakable ethics, Marcos Braz lied only once when he said he was not a fan of losing Benfica,” said Luis Miguel Enrique, confirming that “Flamengo wants to hire Jorge “. An obstacle the size of … Dragau in the “grip” of the Rio de Janeiro club. “If you think you can hire by the 30th, you can extend your trip and stay because that won’t happen.”
Luis Miguel Enrique, who has worked with Jorge Jesus for “over 20 years”, assures that to this day the coach “has nothing in his hands” for Flamengo, not least because this official meeting between the parties has not yet taken place. “Jorge does not intend to give up any friendship, but he is aware of the symbolic meaning that this meeting can have and the problems that may arise as a result,” the lawyer explained without closing the door.
However, when asked about the moment Jorge Jesus is experiencing at Benfica, where he was the target of some controversy on the part of embodied supporters, especially after the defeat at Sporting, Luis Miguel Enrique pointed the finger at the embodied leadership in the way the coach after the derby publicly defended himself. “It was not Jaime Antunes who should have done it, I thought it was strange, even because of the criticism he had criticized Jesus in the past, it was not the way it should have been done. It would be Rui Costa alone or not, ”fired the lawyer, noting that the coach“ likes to work wherever they want ”.
