Last night, the national under-21 team took an important step towards the European Championship, after beating Scotland 3-0. In a match where Luís Freire once again placed his trust in Daniel Banjaqui and Gonçalo Moreira, the performances of the two youngsters once again greatly pleased José Mourinho, Benfica’s coach.
According to newspaper A Bola, in this Wednesday’s edition, April 1, the two young Eagles repeated, and very successfully, the technical quality they had already shown in Baku, where they helped the team of the quinas beat Azerbaijan 4-0.
This time, the victim was Scotland, in Estoril, where Banjaqui, with only two matches played at this level, scored his first goal for Portugal, sending the stands into raptures. However, in the face of his teammate’s feat, Gonçalo Moreira did not want to be left behind, and the midfielder found the net for the second game in a row.
Now, the question remains: is José Mourinho fully convinced by Gonçalo Moreira’s qualities? The 20-year-old once again showed what he can do and presented reasons why his presence in Benfica’s first-team squad would be an added value.
As for Banjaqui, the 18-year-old full-back, who has reportedly already renewed with the Eagles, further cemented his place in the squad, gaining the status of a sure bet for the new season, where, according to Valter Marques, the player will be the second option behind Amar Dedic.
