Benfica star on José Mourinho: “He’s mad” | OneFootball

Dodi Lukebakio revealed that he is very happy to be able to work with José Mourinho at Benfica. The new signing, brought in during the last transfer window, spoke to Sporttv’s microphones and also made sure to mention the points that the Eagles have already dropped in this edition of the Champions League. Chelsea, it should be remembered, have some key absences.

"I think we all know what we have to do tomorrow. We wasted the first home game, we had to win those three points, but that’s football. We know what we have to do for this game," Dodi Lukebakio began, not forgetting the 2-3 result from the first round of the Champions League.

The Benfica winger continued, explaining that the team’s ambition is to win the match, even against a tough opponent like Chelsea: "(Winning) is mandatory in every game. But at home, even more so. That’s why the hunger is even greater to get these three points."

"I had preseason, I didn’t miss that time. I’m in rhythm, I don’t think much about it, I just want to be at my best, rest and train well, and try to help the team tomorrow (...) I know my qualities. The goal is to help the team. I’ll try my best, bring the best I can," he went on to explain about his current moment at Benfica.

Lukebakio concluded with a few words about what it’s like to work with José Mourinho at Benfica: "It’s special, of course. It’s crazy. I always saw him at other clubs, he’s one of the best in the world, and I really want to work with him, learn, and I hope to be able to show that on the pitch."
