Dodi Lukebakio on Benfica’s crisis: I understand, but… | OneFootball

Dodi Lukebakio commented on Benfica's crisis and assured fans that the team will achieve the goals it has set for itself. In a post on social media after the controversial match against Casa Pia, the Belgian international stated that he understands the fans’ frustration, asking for patience and trust in the team led by José Mourinho.

"I completely understand our fans’ frustration, but we will learn from our mistakes and achieve our goals", wrote Dodi Lukebakio last Monday in a message posted on Instagram, after the home draw, two goals apiece, against Casa Pia at Estádio da Luz.

In the match against Casa Pia, Dodi Lukebakio started and was substituted in the 88th minute by João Rego. The 28-year-old winger did not have a particularly happy performance, despite his strong contribution to Benfica’s goals in the last five matches, with one accurate finish (Tondela) and two assists (Arouca and Vitória de Guimarães).

Dodi Lukebakio joined Benfica in the final days of this summer’s transfer window, coming from Sevilla. The 28-year-old Belgian international cost Benfica around 20 million euros, plus 4 million in add-ons, having signed a contract valid until June 2030.
