Mourinho take note: Gonçalo Moreira shining at Benfica, unstoppable | OneFootball

The magic continues to roam freely in Seixal. For those more attentive to what happens in the tiers below Benfica's elite — meaning the B team, under-23, and under-19 (specifically in the Youth League) —, Gonçalo Moreira's talent is not exactly news.

The young attacking midfielder, who turned 20 on January 3rd, continues to unleash his creativity and was once again in the spotlight yesterday while playing for the secondary Benfica team, which hosted and defeated Feirense 3-0, closing the 25th round of Liga 2.

Even starting the game on the bench, Gonçalo Moreira made the most of the minutes given to him by Nélson Veríssimo and once again dazzled. Brought into the match with just under half an hour to go, the number 77 still had plenty of time to make his mark, scoring one of the goals in Benfica B's most emphatic victory of the season.

The young attacking midfielder has football in his veins. A cerebral player, who seems to think ahead of everyone else, he already knows what to do with the ball before receiving it, thus able to continue all the plays he is involved in, whether progressing with the ball, invading the final third, or setting up a teammate, on the flanks or in central areas.

This season, Gonçalo Moreira - valued at 1.2 million euros - has played a total of 31 official matches: 20 in the Segunda Liga, seven in the UEFA Youth League, three in the Premier League International Cup, and one in the Liga Revelação. In the 1,950 minutes he has been on the pitch, the footballer has recorded 17 goals and 10 assists.
