Nélson Semedo hails Benfica duo after Fenerbahçe clash: the right pieces | OneFootball

Nélson Semedo was impressed by the performances of Richard Ríos and Amar Dedic. At the end of the Benfica – Fenerbahçe match, in which he was injured and had to leave the game very early, the full-back who came up through the ranks at Benfica praised the pair of new signings for Bruno Lage’s team, who have been making a strong impression.

“We gave the first half to Benfica, in the second we improved a lot, but we didn’t create many chances. Benfica played a good game at home. It’s up to us to play in the UEFA Europa League and take a lesson from this,” said Nélson Semedo, considering Benfica’s win in the Champions League tie to be fair.

Regarding his return to Estádio da Luz after several years, Nélson Semedo regretted having to leave the match so early and expressed a wish for Benfica’s future: “I didn’t play for long because of the injury, but it’s always good to come back to a place where I was happy. Congratulations to Benfica on qualifying.”

“I hope they become champions. They have a great team and have strengthened very well. Ríos brings a lot of consistency to the team, Dedic is a great player as well. They have the right pieces to succeed this year,” concluded Nélson Semedo, praising Benfica’s new signings.
