Glorioso 1904 exclusive confirmed: José Mourinho lands Benfica gem | OneFootball

It is now Glorioso 1904 Exclusive confirmed: José Mourinho commented on Gonçalo Moreira's debut and stated that the young footballer will be part of the Eagles’ pre-season, just as our newspaper had reported last week. The Benfica coach praised the path the number 77 has been taking.

"Gonçalo will definitely be with us in the next pre-season. Pre-season will begin while the World Cup is taking place, which means several players will not be there at the start of July," announced José Mourinho during the press conference, when he was asked about the 20-year-old footballer’s debut.

"He will be there, as he is in what I do not define publicly, but define internally. Within Seixal’s elite, there is a small elite. Gonçalo is part of that small elite and will definitely be working with the first team in the next pre-season," added the Special One, confirming the commitment to the Benfica player.

"This year he has done everything, he has played for all the teams. He is fundamentally a player from the B team, where he works with Veríssimo, who has given him the ability to grow so much against highly experienced men who play in those teams in a difficult league like Liga 2," praised the Eagles’ coach.

"Today was just an opportunity to be with his parents, have a little beer and celebrate because he has already made his debut for Benfica’s first team, but I want to give opportunities to play and develop. Not just a small chance like today to play and enjoy it," concluded José Mourinho.
