Benfica? Resink revisits Eagles interest: It’s frustrating to have to leave | OneFootball

Stije Resink stood out in Groningen's last match. At the end of the game, the Dutch midfielder, who had already commented on the alleged interest from Benfica, spoke about the match and the fact that he left the field injured, which could create some issues for a possible transfer to Benfica.

"It was a bitter game and, on a personal level, it's frustrating to have to leave with ankle pain. I have felt better, yes. In the middle of the first half, I stepped on some studs, it was an unfortunate moment. I immediately felt it start to swell. At halftime, I said I wanted to continue, but at a certain point it just wasn't possible anymore," said the 22-year-old footballer.

"I genuinely tried to stay focused. I can show you my ankle now, I didn't leave for nothing. Besides, no concrete offer has arrived at Groningen yet. Honestly, I don't know which way this will go, I'll wait and see how things develop," Resink pointed out, regarding the transfer rumors.

"You can imagine that things are a bit noisy right now. I try to stay very calm. I discussed everything with my agent, the contacts go through him and the clubs themselves," commented the Dutch midfielder at the end of the match against Fortuna Sittard.

"Stije is a very important player for us and we were disappointed that he had to leave. As for everything else surrounding him, we'll see what happens," acknowledged Dick Lukkien, commenting on the injury suffered by the 22-year-old footballer during Groningen's match.
