Sidny Cabral on joining Benfica: As soon as I heard that... | OneFootball

Sidny Cabral revealed that Benfica was his only wish. In a recent interview, the Eagles’ winter signing shared that, when he became aware of the club’s interest, he was determined to leave Estrela da Amadora for Luz, despite having other possible destinations.

"My agent said he was in negotiations with Sporting, Braga, and Benfica", began the number 15, in a conversation with the Dutch magazine Voetball International, highlighting the several clubs interested in signing him.

"What!? Benfica? As soon as I heard that, all I wanted was to go there", revealed Sidny Cabral, stressing that, once he learned of the Club of Luz’s desire to sign him, his focus became making the move to the red and white team a reality.

"At the first training session, I was completely nervous again. I got out of the car and they immediately put a camera right in my face. They followed me around all day", revealed the Cape Verde international, describing the coverage he received from the Eagles’ social media, who sought to document his integration into Benfica.

"My career is a crazy story. I’m proud to have never given up and to always believe in myself. When I was on the bench in the fifth division of Germany, I never imagined I’d make it to Benfica", concluded Sidny Cabral, who is expected to start in the match against Alverca.
