Samuel Dahl - who received tremendous news - revealed that the match between Benfica and Chelsea, at the Club World Cup, was a horrible experience. While serving the national team and in an interview with the Swedish press, the fullback, who has taken over the position that was Carreras', expresses his happiness for getting playing time at Clube da Luz.
"It was important for me to play as much as possible and it was positive that Benfica wanted to buy me. It was good for me to be able to play and I was left with a positive feeling," stated Samuel Dahl, 22, who has been Bruno Lage's initial choice at the start of this season for the eagles.
Regarding the Club World Cup, Samuel Dahl was not as positive: "It was a completely new experience. There was a game where we sat in the locker room for almost two hours doing nothing. And in the last game, in the 'round of 16', the match was interrupted at 85 minutes for an hour and a half. It's not fun at all to play a match for four, five hours. It affects you and is a bit tiring.”
"When we went to the bus there was always a dog sniffing everyone's bags and luggage, we couldn't even take them onto the bus. It was a different experience, the security was incredible and the same thing happened when we entered the stadium. The weather was horrible," concluded Samuel Dahl.
