Back fit, Benfica player hasn't forgotten hard spell: Before injury... | OneFootball

Although the worst is now behind him, Alexander Bah still remembers how hard it was to get through. Benfica’s number 6 recently looked back to recall a bittersweet year in which he was out of action. The right-back, who today could be used again for both the national team and Benfica - who have been handed another fine - also recalled José Mourinho’s jokes, as he wanted him back on the pitch quickly.

"Before the knee injury, I had also had some minor injuries and didn’t play every match for the national team that I would have liked, because my body was under a heavy load", Alexander Bah shared in an interview with the newspaper 'Herning Folkeblad'.

"So, when I was sitting watching the national team and Benfica playing on television, I thought that I really have to remember to enjoy and appreciate being here, because this was what I dreamed of when I was running around in Arslev [the village where he grew up] playing football", he concluded.

but every now and then I would hear a funny comment for not training", said Bah, referring to the Special One’s jokes.
