Manu Silva says Benfica team-mate is a right crybaby | OneFootball

Tomás Araújo admitted he’s a sore loser. Benfica’s center-back shared some revelations about his childhood and was interrupted by Manu Silva, with the midfielder teasing his teammate and saying that, in fact, the “number 44” gets in a bad mood if he doesn’t win.

“I’m a really sore loser,” Tomás Araújo said on the Cubinho podcast. “My father banned me from playing PlayStation because I wanted to hit my brother, since he was always winning,” admitted the Benfica defender, before being interrupted by a call.

“He’s a crybaby, a f****** one,” said Manu Silva in an audio message. Tomás Araújo was surprised by the midfielder — who has already returned to training, albeit in a limited capacity — in a moment that greatly amused everyone involved.

This season, wearing Benfica’s shirt, Tomás Araújo — currently valued at 32 million euros — has played eight matches: six in Liga Portugal Betclic, one in the Champions League, and another in Liga 2 for the B team. In the 308 minutes he has played, the defender, who is under contract with the Club of Light until June 2029, has neither scored nor assisted.

Benfica return to the pitch next Friday, October 17, against Chaves, in a Taça de Portugal match. The game against the side led by Filipe Martins will kick off at 7:30 p.m., at Estádio Engenheiro Manuel Branco Teixeira.
