Former captain on Benfica’s match: That was the turning point… | OneFootball

This season, Moreirense hit the jackpot by signing a former captain of Benfica. Francisco Domingues, who completed his entire youth development at Seixal, where he captained Benfica’s B team, spoke about his presence in Moreira de Cónegos and his departure from the Glorious – who has talents in Mourinho’s sights.

In an interview with the newspaper A Bola, the young player who came through the Eagles’ ranks began by commenting on his departure from Estádio da Luz to Moreira de Cónegos: “I think it was the right step. Moreirense is a very good team, in recent seasons the team has always finished well in the league and I’ve been playing, but I also worked for it, so it was the right step.”

Asked if he felt any bitterness about leaving the Glorious, Francisco Domingues admitted: “Of course, a player who has played at Benfica for many years always has the ambition to reach the first team, but there are several paths to follow, and my path ended up being this one.”

Regarding his move to a new city, the footballer said he adapted well to the new northern environment: “We lack nothing here, we have everything, everyone is very professional. In terms of the city, the difference is that here it’s calmer, more family-oriented, which is positive. I’ve really enjoyed living in the north.”

“I’ve really enjoyed it, I think I’ve adapted very well, both to the place and to the team. My teammates have helped me a lot. I’ve also been open to that, but I think, clearly, it’s been very positive,” said Francisco Domingues about his journey at Moreirense.
