António Silva thrilled with new chapter at Benfica: means a lot to me | OneFootball

António Silva - who saw José Mourinho make a decision about his future - is very happy to have reached 150 games wearing Benfica's jersey. In statements to the Clube da Luz media, the Portuguese international also comments on José Mourinho's arrival at the Eagles, recalling the successful career of the Portuguese coach.

“It means a lot [150 games]. Since the first game in the A team, every game I play has a very significant meaning. Because I spent many years in training and my dream was always to play in the main team. Reaching this milestone of 150 games, being so young, I think it's something very special,” António Silva began by stating.

Regarding the most special moment with Benfica's jersey since joining the A team, António Silva has no doubts: “The debut is always the most memorable game because it's where it all begins. It was very special, at 18 years old, very young, and it was something I wasn't expecting at that time. That was the most special game.”

“It's a lot of work. Of course, luck has to always be allied with work, but what they can control is the daily work. The coaches have quality, they are very competent. The people around the training, and it's all based on work,” said António Silva, discussing the secrets of success.

“Everyone knows the quality that Mr. Mourinho brings to his teams, I think, above all, it's much about his winning mentality for having been through many clubs, for having won everywhere, and I think that's what he can bring to our team,” concluded António Silva.
