Luisão on special times at Benfica, remembers the much-missed Miklos Fehér | OneFootball

It was 22 years ago that Luisão made his debut wearing the Benfica jersey. The central defender took advantage of this special date to leave a message for all Benfica fans, through social media, where he remembered the years he spent with the eagle on his chest, and also, the legendary Miklos Fehér.

"It's not every day that a central defender debuts for a European giant with a volley goal, is it? But that's what I, a boy newly arrived from Brazil, did for Benfica, exactly 22 years ago!", began Luisão, recalling a game that ended 3-3, where the Brazilian also scored his first goal for the eagles.

Luisão continued, and remembered another great name in Benfica's history: "From that day against Belenenses at the National Stadium, which we used while Luz was under construction, I remember very much the late Miklos Fehér, my great friend who also scored in the game and helped me a lot in adapting to Portugal...".

"And not even the cold shower with the draw was able to erase the immense joy I felt for a beautiful story I knew was beginning. Pride for each chapter of this dream called football!", concluded the player who, for many seasons, captained the red team.
