José Mourinho on Rodrigo Rêgo’s Benfica debut: He hasn’t won anything yet | OneFootball

José Mourinho revealed that he was very pleased with Rodrigo Rêgo's performance in the Atlético - Benfica match. The Portuguese coach promoted the debut of the young Benfica player, and although he explained that the player did not earn any rights after his first match with the team, he also praised the winger trained at Luz. The Eagles, it should be recalled, won 2-0.

"He didn't earn anything. He earned the right to train with us tomorrow. Most likely, he will stay with us. He did not betray my trust, nor his teammates, nor Benfica. The game could have gone badly, but I knew the attitude wouldn't fail," José Mourinho began to explain about Rodrigo Rêgo's performance.

"If he could play in the Youth League, he would be there, but since he can't, he will be with us, and he can be used. And at this moment, I trust him more than others," José Mourinho concluded, taking the opportunity to make some digs at some members of the Benfica squad.

Then, the Benfica coach was asked about the next match against Ajax for the Champions League: "I haven't thought about it yet. I don't like to think about two games at the same time. Tonight is a night of little sleep and thinking about it, but I haven't focused on it yet," he said.

"The system is not a problem, playing with three is not a problem, but it requires tactical rigor. It's a system adapted to the few wingers we have, I also wanted to give Ivanovic an environment more similar to what he had in the former team. The system didn't disappoint me, what disappointed me was the attitude of some players in the first half," José Mourinho concluded.
