Benfica flop on Mourinho relationship: I wasn't at my best with him | OneFootball

Sidny Lopes Cabral holds no grudge whatsoever over his spell at Benfica, where he spent only six months, and speaks calmly about that period of his career, now in the service of Trabzonspor. The player also spoke about his relationship with José Mourinho and admitted that he was unable to show his best version.

The winger also discussed Cape Verde’s current moment in a preview of the clash against Spain at the World Cup: “We are all excited about the World Cup and especially about the game against Spain. I want to play against all of Spain’s best players. It is a great honor,” he said in an interview with Radio Marca.

The player then recalled his experience at Benfica with the 'Special One': “He is an excellent coach; it was an honor to work with him. He is a coach who leaves a mark on players’ careers and can help them reach the best version of themselves.”

In the space of a year, I went from the third tier in Germany to Portugal and then to Benfica.”
