Samuel Dahl - who made his scoring debut against Vitória de Guimarães - was the player chosen to speak to the press before the Benfica - Bayer Leverkusen match. The 'number 26' of the eagles admitted it is easy to work with José Mourinho and assured he feels no pressure being Álvaro Carreras' replacement.

"It's very good. I'm very happy, it gave me a lot of confidence since he arrived. I feel more confident. The last games were very good. On my part, I feel a lot of confidence," the Swedish left-back began during the pre-match press conference.

About Carreras, Dahl was straightforward: "He left a good mark, but I'm focused on myself, trying to improve as much as possible, in training and in games. Of course, it makes me want to achieve more and more. It doesn't put pressure on myself, but I feel like I want to show Benfica that I can also leave my mark."

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Samuel Dahl – valued at 9 million euros – has played 19 matches: ten in the Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, one in the League Cup, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 1,608 minutes he played, the left-back scored one goal and made one assist.

The eagles now turn their attention to the Champions League, where they will face Bayer Leverkusen. The match, which will take place at the Estádio da Luz, is scheduled for next Wednesday, November 5th, with kickoff set for 8:00 PM.
