Jonas full of praise for Benfica regular: he's a golden boy | OneFootball

Rafa Silva reached a special milestone in the 7-0 thrashing of Casa Pia. The 33-year-old winger made his 350th appearance for Benfica, capping a long journey that began on September 9, 2016, when the Eagles visited Arouca. Jonas, who was his teammate between 2016 and 2019, praised the Benfica winger.

"Rafa is a golden boy. Every team should have a Rafa. He adds so much. He contributes so much," said the former Brazilian striker in an exclusive interview with Sports Tailors, highlighting both the sporting and human side of the 33-year-old player.

"Pistolas" also said that Rafa Silva, even now in his 30s, continues to make a difference for the red-and-white team. "When I played for Benfica, he was already a player who made a difference. He still does," he argued.

To conclude, Jonas highlighted the fact that the former Portugal international reached 350 matches for Glorioso, an achievement few manage. "Completing 350 games with the Benfica shirt on your back is not for just anyone," he concluded.
