I didn't think twice: Kaminski explains Benfica choice | OneFootball

Jakub Kaminski was officially unveiled as a Benfica signing and did not hide his excitement about this new stage of his career. In an interview with the club’s media, the Polish international explained that the decision to move to the Luz was immediate as soon as Benfica’s interest emerged.

"If Benfica call you, you don’t think twice. It was very easy to decide to take this step in my career, to keep playing in Europe and to represent a major European club. Benfica was the best option. We’ll see how it goes, but I’ll give my all to show my quality on the pitch," he said.

The winger also revealed that he understood the size of the club as soon as he arrived in Portugal: "You can see its greatness right away in the streets, with many fans wearing the shirt of Benfica. You can tell there are many Benfica supporters, not only in Lisbon, but all over the world. There is a lot of support and there is also pressure, but as a Benfica player, I have to adapt," he noted.

Kaminski assured that he arrives at the Luz with the ambition of winning trophies and meeting the demands of one of Portugal’s biggest clubs: "I want to win titles. That is what everyone expects from Benfica. That is what the fans want and that is what the club demands. We have to adapt to that pressure and fight for titles," he stressed. The player also took the opportunity to introduce himself to Benfica supporters, highlighting the experience he has gained despite his young age.

"I think I can give a lot. I had a good season in the Bundesliga, I have already played more than one hundred matches in that competition and I am 24 years old. I already have some experience, I played at a World Cup for Poland and I have more than 30 international caps. Even though I am still young, I believe I can add experience and quality to the dressing room. I am a quick player, I prefer to play on the wings, but I can also play as a number 10. I like to combine with the striker and take responsibility on the pitch," he explained.
