José Mourinho at Benfica event: Shares heartfelt message, "Give it your all..." | OneFootball

José Mourinho, in the company of some members of the main squad, attended a gathering with youth academy players. During the event, which took place at the Benfica Campus, the Special One — who is preparing for the match against Famalicão — addressed the homegrown talents and left a clear message regarding the future.

“Without a doubt, being here with you makes it clear that it is a dream for everyone to reach where the older ones have already arrived,” began the Special One, accompanied by Tomás Araújo, Rodrigo Rêgo, João Rêgo, and Nuno Félix, all players trained at Benfica.

“I don't know how many years I will stay here, but I would love to continue doing what we have already been doing, which is opening the door to dreams,” added the 62-year-old coach, reinforcing his desire to continue providing opportunities to the youth academy players.

“For us, coaches, it is almost a mandatory mission to give everything we have for our players, in this case, for the kids,” emphasized José Mourinho, in a more serious tone, explaining the role of the coaching staff in the growth of young athletes.

“The gentlemen and ladies who work here and who are your family are amazing. Merry Christmas to you and your families,” concluded the Benfica coach, extending holiday wishes to all the young players and staff who work daily at the Benfica Campus.
