Tiago Gouveia on Nice move: reveals ex-Benfica mate's advice | OneFootball

Settling in at Nice, Tiago Gouveia commented on his arrival at the club and revealed a conversation he had with a former Benfica player

Having completed his first weeks at the service of Nice, after leaving Benfica before the close of the transfer window, Tiago Gouveia commented on his arrival in the French league and the winger recalled a conversation with João Neves, stating that the Portuguese player convinced him to join his current club.

In an interview with Nice-Natin, the number 47 of the French team explained that the Portuguese international, who recently played for Portugal, was decisive in his decision: “Before signing, I spoke with João Neves.”

However, the former Benfica academy player went further and revealed the argument that João Neves presented for Tiago Gouveia to choose the French league over other options: “He told me it was a very good club, that it would be good for my development because Ligue 1 is more competitive than the Portuguese league.”

Finally, the former number 47 of the Eagles revealed that he likes to follow more experienced players, as was the case with Fideo at Clube da Luz: “I like to talk to experienced players, as I did with Di María at Benfica, or here with Dante. Before they are players, they are human beings. I like to know what they think and their problems.”
