“Unfortunately in football, genuine and truthful people are, most of the time, the villains of the story. You play so well, my brother,” commented the right-back of the “Culés,” who was recently signed by the Blaugrana club.

Tiago Gouveia, who also played for Benfica and left at the start of this season for Nice, also made sure to leave a statement, highlighting that David Simão “has one of the best left feet” he has ever seen, and that it was “a great pleasure to have seen it live and in color.”
