Mourinho’s gamble against Nacional enjoys dream week at Benfica | OneFootball

It has been a recent bet by José Mourinho and he has not disappointed. Launched into the starting lineup of Benfica, in the victory against Nacional, Rodrigo Rêgo will certainly not forget what he experienced in the last seven days since joining the main squad of the Eagles, led by the Special One.

After accumulating minutes in the Portuguese Cup and the Champions League, the number 67 made his first appearance in the top division of national football and as a starter, just as he had done against Atlético, where he played the full 90 minutes, helping the team advance in the competition.

Rodrigo Rêgo was once again chosen by José Mourinho, as the Special One needed to make changes to the team due to the absence of Richard Ríos, who was out of the match at Choupana due to an accumulation of yellow cards, yet he still delivered a positive performance.

On the islanders' turf, the 20-year-old from Aveiro played 58 minutes on the field but left a good impression on the Special One. While he played, Rêgo recorded four shots, two chances created, two completed dribbles, and a pass accuracy of around 84.2%.

A dream week for the young forward of Clube da Luz, who accumulated minutes in different competitions. In the current sports season, Rodrigo Rêgo — currently valued at 150 thousand euros — has already made three official appearances for Benfica's main squad. In the 149 minutes he was on the pitch, the number 67 did not disappoint.
