During the Portugal Football Globes gala, several notable figures who have shone in the service of Portugal's top teams were spotted, including Derlei, who played for the three major teams. In a conversation with journalists, the former player commented on José Mourinho's return to Benfica.

At the same gala, where Mourinho also made an appearance, the former player of the reds praised the Special One, stating that he still has the abilities he demonstrated throughout his career: ""Of course, absolutely. I believe in the ability he has shown, throughout his career".

Next, the 'ninja' applauded the choice made by the Club of Light, considering that the reds did well to bet on a name that has experience in the championship: ""He has an enviable resume. I think it's important for the Portuguese league, naturally, just like Benfica did now, to bring in coaches who have this know-how, who can add a lot".

Finally, the forward reminded that the impact that José Mourinho will have will not only be felt at the Club of Light, but also in the championship itself, due to *his vast experience in European football: ""We know the knowledge he brings, not only to Benfica, but to the League".

Lastly, when asked about the qualities of the three major teams, Derlei explained that the teams in question are always on an equal footing in terms of the players they present: ""Well, in reality, when we talk about the squads, I think the 3 major clubs in Portugal have well-stocked teams, that is, they have some athletes who are really exceptional, athletes who can really decide games".
