Ángel Di María believes that Benfica will go through a phase of improvement. The Argentine forward responded to a post by Nicolás Otamendi, assuring that "now comes the best," with José Mourinho about to be presented as Bruno Lage's successor.

"There is a lot of season and many goals still ahead. The weak do not try. Today it is up to us to work better and keep trying. On Saturday we will have the opportunity to do it together, as a team," began the 'number 30' of the eagles.

At the same time, Otamendi assured Benfica fans, aiming for success during the season despite setbacks: "Our moment will come quickly. Talent is not enough if focus and conviction are not your priority."

In the comments section, Ángel Di María, a former teammate of Otamendi at Benfica and the Argentine national team, left a special motivation for the bearer of the red armband, believing that the eagles will turn things around: "Now comes the best, my friend. Let's go with everything."

Benfica returns to the field next Saturday, September 20, at 6:00 PM, in Vila das Aves, against AVS. The game is part of the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The eagles will play again for the Champions League on September 30, against Chelsea, in London.
