Marco Silva sees the League Cup as "an opportunity to give many people a game"

Marco Silva, the Benfica coach, views the League Cup as a chance to give playing time to less utilized players, emphasizing its importance in the domestic competition. He believes that having two domestic cups allows clubs to manage player rotation effectively. Despite some injuries affecting squad rotation, Silva maintains a positive outlook on the competition's density. Benfica, the record holder with eight League Cup titles, is set to face Gil Vicente in the quarter-finals at Estádio da Luz.
