Mourinho’s protégés on Benfica: An unforgettable experience | OneFootball

and Miguel Figueiredo, both 17 years old, were chosen to share their experiences at the Players' Forum with athletes from Benfica's under-14 and under-15 teams - who are preparing a special night - and they emphasized the importance of this moment of interaction with the younger players.

"It is something very important for everyone. I end up sharing my experiences and they end up learning and listening, and when they go through some of these experiences themselves, they will already be a little more prepared. It is very important for us, who are sharing, and for them, who are listening," said the left-footer, who already has three appearances with the first team this season.

Also Miguel Figueiredo, who was on the main bench for the first time with the Reds in Arouca, considers these initiatives important for the development of the younger players.

"It’s good to be able to share and give a bit of our experience – which isn’t much, but it’s still more than theirs – and our lessons. Being able to prepare them for what’s ahead, to let them start to feel a bit of what football is," he said.

"It’s good to give them these lessons," emphasized the midfielder, who highlighted how these moments were important for his own personal development: "I always took away some lessons that helped me in tough times, in knowing how to handle the good moments. If they know how to use that, it can be useful for their future."
