Andreia Faria reveals why she left Benfica, blames former Sporting player | OneFootball

Andreia Faria confessed that one of the reasons she left Benfica in the last transfer window and moved to Al Nassr was... Cristiano Ronaldo. In an interview with the podcast ‘Final Cut’, the Portuguese international spoke about her relationship with Kika Nazareth, who had reasons to celebrate very recently.

“Everyone knows Al Nassr, not just in Portugal, but all over the world. Cristiano Ronaldo is the figure we all know. For me, he is the best in the world and, obviously, his presence at the club dignifies what the symbol represents, and without a doubt, when they made me the offer to come to Al Nassr, that also influenced me,” Andreia Faria began by saying.

“It’s a totally different experience, I was already the player with the most appearances at Benfica, I had been there for 8 years and felt I needed another adventure. Without a doubt, it was something that could really change my life and I decided to accept, for a bit of everything. I would have liked to leave Benfica with one more title, the Portuguese Cup, but there are other good stories to tell,” Andreia Faria added.

“I had been at Benfica for eight years and, therefore, in the future, when I go to work, what remains are the stories there are to tell. To say that I stayed 10 or 12 years at Benfica and became a Benfica legend wasn’t really, as much as I loved Benfica, that wasn’t what I wanted, that wasn’t the story I wanted to have to tell in my life,” said Andreia Faria.

“She’s a player [Kika Nazareth] with whom I have a certain chemistry on the field, a player who understands me very well, as a number 10. There’s something special about her, because with little training and few games, it’s easy to connect. She has more than enough potential to become [the best in the world],” Andreia Faria concluded.
