Chaves stalwart says Benfica no real test of their unbeaten run | OneFootball

Bruno Rodrigues is confident for the match against Benfica. The Chaves central defender spoke with the newspaper Record about the third round match of the Portuguese Cup and confessed that there is a lot of excitement in the Flaviense club for this clash with the Eagles.

"We approach this game with great enthusiasm. It's against one of the greats of Portuguese football, but when the game starts, it's 11 against 11. We are ready for this challenge," Bruno Rodrigues, central defender and essential part of the team, began to explain about the game with Benfica.

Chaves has not lost this season yet, but the group is not focused on those numbers: "I don't see this game as a test of our invincibility, but rather as an important opportunity to show the team's collective strength, which promises to give everything on and off the pitch."

"I have been doing my job regularly. I am well integrated, but the season is long and there is still much to achieve," Bruno Rodrigues concluded, also thanking the Chaves supporters for their support throughout the sports season.

It is also worth mentioning that Chaves comes with extra motivation, backed by Vozinha, the Flaviense goalkeeper from Cape Verde, who recently returned from the country after experiencing a historic moment with the qualification for the World Cup. However, not everything is good news, as the team from Trás-os-Montes has four confirmed absences for the match: full-back Aarón Romero, midfielders Pelágio and Roan Wilson, and winger Reinaldo.
