Press tips Rodrigo Rêgo plus 10 others for Nacional v Benfica | OneFootball

Rodrigo Rêgo is expected to start against Nacional. According to reports, the young player from Benfica is set to repeat his presence in the Eagles’ starting eleven, following his debut in the Portuguese Cup against Atlético. The bet on the number 67 jersey is a clear sign that the player is living up to the trust placed in him by José Mourinho.

The newspaper Record writes, in its Saturday edition of November 29, that the number 67 made the most of the opportunity given to him by the Special One and, for that reason, deserves a new vote of confidence from José Mourinho, right in the match between Nacional and Benfica, counting for the 12th round of the championship.

The same source guarantees that Rodrigo Rêgo returns to Benfica’s starting eleven to fill the spot of Richard Ríos — who is serving a one-match suspension —, which forces Fredrik Aursnes to drop back on the field, thus opening up the possibility for him to occupy the wing, just as he did against Atlético CP.

Rodrigo Rêgo, it should be recalled, was one of the main figures for the Eagles in the match held at Estádio do Restelo, receiving high praise from José Mourinho. After his debut in the Portuguese Cup, the young Portuguese player had the opportunity to get his first minutes in the Champions League, coming on during stoppage time in the win over Ajax.

In addition to Rodrigo Rêgo’s expected start, the newspaper Record also reports that there is a strong possibility Leandro Barreiro will remain in the starting eleven, given his excellent performance against the Dutch side. Thus, the Luxembourg international should appear just behind Vangelis Pavlidis, “pushing” Georgiy Sudakov to the left flank.
