Team-mate on Anísio, Banjaqui and secret to Benfica-Estrela goal | OneFootball

The rises of Anísio Cabral and Daniel Banjaqui have been making waves, and there are those who see them as a positive sign. Tomás Soares, who discussed the Eagles’ prospects in the Youth League, highlighted the journey of Benfica’s two young gems and emphasized that both are examples to follow at Seixal.

“Their debuts in the first team are a source of pride for all of us who grew up with them,” Tomás Soares began, expressing his happiness with the current success of the 17-year-old duo, who have been among the new faces in José Mourinho’s squad.

“And they’re an inspiration, because they show that if we do things right, if we work hard, we can be rewarded with a call-up to the first team,” acknowledged the young Benfica player, admitting that he shares the same ambitions of earning a spot in Benfica’s A team.

Tomás Soares: “That’s a goal in Anísio’s style, and a cross in Banjaqui’s style”

“I was traveling by car and the broadcast was a bit delayed compared to the notifications. So, I first got the notification that Anísio had scored,” said the academy player, recalling the moment when the number 72 scored his first goal for the first team.

“We understood what happened in that play. Something they had imagined together so many times. That’s a goal in Anísio’s style, and a cross in Banjaqui’s style. We were very happy for them, and that’s something we don’t even need to say, because they know it. They are two players with a lot of potential,” concluded Tomás Soares.
