Mourinho grateful as star praises Benfica boss: Something special | OneFootball

José Mourinho already has a career that surpasses the 20-year mark. Therefore, he is more than used to being the target of praise, both from football legends of the past and from the present. Now back at Benfica, the coach received high praise from Georgiy Sudakov.

In an interview with the YouTube channel 'VZBorna', the Ukrainian international spoke about José Mourinho’s presence at Benfica. “I couldn’t believe it. When the first news came out, I thought it was impossible,” said the number 10, regarding the arrival of the Special One at the Estádio da Luz.

Next, the footballer, who is a regular pick for José Mourinho, said that the coach has earned his nickname and it’s not by chance: “He has an incredible status. He’s not known as the ‘Special One’ by accident.”

Amazed by the opportunity to work with the experienced Portuguese coach, Sudakov emphasizes that Mourinho has something that is almost impossible to describe, in his opinion: “He truly has something special. And you just can’t put it into words.”

“When you see him in real life, you realize he has great charisma, an aura about him. He gets the message across in such a way that you start to believe and you become successful,” Georgiy Sudakov added, in statements to the YouTube channel 'VZBorna'.
