Mourinho’s special project at Benfica, the new fantastic four driving form | OneFootball

Benfica’s positive spell is being driven by Leandro Barreiro, Richard Ríos, Gianluca Prestianni and Andreas Schjelderup, who all stood out in the 4-1 win over Moreirense. According to Glorioso 1904, José Mourinho’s focused individual attention has accelerated the quartet’s rise after a muted start to the season.

In that victory, the midfielders opened the scoring, then the wingers helped close out the win.

Prestianni is enjoying the best spell of his career, surpassing last season’s numbers and exerting greater influence in attack with more consistent decisions.

Schjelderup has cemented himself on the left, adding goals and assists, including eye-catching moments in the Champions League.

Barreiro has thrived in a more advanced role, timing his runs into the box and improving his final-third choices. He is posting steady output with direct goal contributions that he had not reached in previous campaigns.

Ríos is in his strongest form since arriving at Benfica, helped by deeper integration into the manager’s ideas. A simplified game and effective use of his physicality have brought balance to midfield, especially with Fredrik Aursnes present.
