Nélson Semedo hails Benfica duo after Fenerbahçe clash: the right pieces | OneFootball

Nélson Semedo expressed his admiration for the performances of Richard Ríos and Amar Dedic. At the end of the Benfica – Fenerbahçe match, where he left early due to an injury, the full-back trained by the reds praised the duo of reinforcements from Bruno Lage's team, who have been standing out.

“We gave the first half to Benfica, in the second we improved a lot, but we didn't create many opportunities. Benfica played a good game at home. It's up to us to play in the UEFA Europa League and take a lesson from here,” said Nélson Semedo, considering the eagles' victory in the Champions League tie fair.

About his return to the Estádio da Luz a few years later, Nélson Semedo regretted having left the match so early and expressed a wish for the future of the reds: “I didn't play for a long time due to the injury, but it's always good to return to a place where I was happy. I congratulate Benfica on their qualification”.

“I hope they become champions. They have a great team, they have strengthened very well. Ríos brings great consistency to the team, Dedic is also a great player. They have the right pieces to succeed this year,” concluded Nélson Semedo, praising Benfica's duo of reinforcements.
