Florentino Luís reveals surprising detail after Benfica farewell: "My email is..." | OneFootball

Florentino Luís recently revealed in an interview that his idol is Yaya Touré. The information came up in an unusual way when the former player, who came through the ranks at Benfica, explained that the Ivorian legend and ex-Barcelona star is actually part of his own email address. In addition, the former number 61 spoke about his experience in the Premier League.

In an interview with DAZN, the former Benfica player, among several questions he answered, revealed who his football idol was. “Yaya Touré, he was the player I liked the most,” said Florentino, before making a funny remark.

“Something funny: even my email is ‘florentino_yaya_42’ because at that time I liked him so much,” said the footballer, who currently plays for Burnley, explaining the impact Yaya Touré had on his life. The Ivorian also played in the Premier League, representing Manchester City.

“I remember, ever since I was a child, always trying to watch the Premier League on weekends. Because, whether you want it or not, almost every week you have big matches, so to speak, because the games are very balanced,” added the former Eagles midfielder, who in a previous interview spoke about Bruno Lage.

“And now, being part of this league, gives me a sense of responsibility, because I’m not only representing Florentino, but I’m also representing young Portuguese players,” concluded Florentino in his interview with DAZN, commenting on his presence in the English league.
