After Benfica-Moreirense, Mourinho on Prestianni ban: Absolutely... | OneFootball

After two months of investigation, UEFA handed Gianluca Prestianni a six-match suspension for homophobic insults aimed at Vinicius Júnior. Asked about the matter after the win over Moreirense (4-1), José Mourinho was ironic.

"I heard so, so, so much back when we played against Real Madrid that, right now, I am absolutely waiting to see, hear and read comments from the people who had so much to say at the time," he began.

On Prestianni’s performance in Benfica - Moreirense, José Mourinho did not hide his praise: "He has had a good league campaign, he has done a fantastic job, he has improved incredibly. At this moment, he is a player who, from a tactical point of view, is strong, knows how to position himself defensively, and knows how to read the game."

"Then, obviously, he has his key qualities, which are his creativity, his technique, his one-on-one ability, his courage in the game, but he was not a player who was ready when I arrived, and he has gone through a development that I think is why the fans applaud him and like him," he stressed.
