Benfica player on future aims: I want to win and make history | OneFootball

Zoe Matthews, who arrived at Luz in February to strengthen Benfica’s women’s football team, visited the Cosme Damião Museum for the first time this Monday and said she was delighted and inspired by the display of the Club’s trophies. Along those same lines, the young midfielder, just 18 years old, spoke about Benfica’s journey so far.

"It’s truly incredible, and it’s really good to see the history, especially of the women’s team that started 8 years ago, and to be able to see the trophies. It’s fantastic to be part of such a big and special club. Looking at these trophies, I want to win and be part of the history. Those are my goals," she admitted, speaking to BTV.

The American arrived on loan from Houston Dash and confessed that she did not know much about Benfica’s women’s setup, but praised the men’s team’s "rich and deep history": "I didn’t know much about the women’s team, because it is relatively recent, but it’s very interesting to see the Club’s development."

After nearly two months with the Seixal side, Matthews said she is happy with her choice and delighted to be strengthening Benfica. "They have been great. I’m very excited to be at the Club. I like Lisbon and the fans, who are very passionate. It has been fantastic," she concluded.

It should be remembered that, after the win over Marítimo (3-1) in the 14th round of the Liga BPI, Benfica remain top of the table with 36 points collected. At the moment, the team coached by Ivan Baptista are unbeaten in the league: 11 wins and three draws in 14 matches.
