Ex-Brazil boss on Benfica target: like Carlos Vinícius, very promising | OneFootball

he remains very highly rated to strengthen Benfica’s attack next season and, in Brazil, the praise for the Trabzonspor forward keeps growing. This time it was Mano Menezes who highlighted the qualities of the player linked with Luz. The former Brazil head coach (2010-2012) believes the striker has some very interesting characteristics.

"He is a very interesting player, a player with great physical stature, standing 1.87m tall. He is left-footed and has a strong presence in the box, he knows how to score. He is more experienced now, we have been following him and he has 15 goals for Trabzonspor," the coach began, in comments to RTP Antena 1.

Peru’s current head coach also believes that a move to Portugal could greatly benefit the Brazilian attacker’s development. "I think he is an interesting player. I don’t think he will have any more integration problems. He can grow in Portuguese football because, tactically, he will become more complete", he explained.

Then came the direct comparison with a former striker who left good memories at Luz. "If I could compare Felipe with any player, I would compare him with Carlos Vinícius, who also played for Benfica. They have similar traits", Mano Menezes revealed.
