Benfica starter admits he was below par v Villarreal: not a top display | OneFootball

Jakub Kaminski was pleased with Benfica’s response in the win over Villarreal (2-0), in the final warm-up match before the team’s official start to the season. The Polish international believes the team showed clear signs of improvement, but admitted that he himself was not at his best.

Speaking to DAZN, the winger highlighted the Eagles’ improved display: "We had good moments. We improved a lot as a team, physically and in terms of quality. We have to keep going and show this in a very important match in St. Gallen," said Marco Silva’s new signing.

Kaminski started for the first time since arriving at Benfica and, after playing 71 minutes against Villarreal, acknowledged that he still needs some time: "I need to adapt and get to know my new teammates. Maybe it wasn’t a top performance, but I need time to show my qualities," he said in comments to BTV.

The winger recalled that he arrived at the Luz and admitted that he is still taking in everything involved in the move to Portuguese football: "I haven’t even been here for two weeks. Everything is new. I’m happy," he said, before making a promise to the fans: "I do everything for this team and I will give my best in the coming matches."
