Anísio Cabral hails Benfica’s role in Under-17 World Cup triumph: special | OneFootball

Anísio Cabral was one of the great figures of the U-17 World Cup, being a key player in Portugal's triumph. After the victory against Austria in the final, by 1-0, the striker from Benfica highlighted the role of the Clube da Luz in this triumph, particularly in his development over the past few years.

"I felt very good, scoring a goal is always very special, even more so for Portugal. We are World Champions, people need to start respecting Portugal", Anísio Cabral began, after the victory against Austria in the U-17 World Cup final, by 1-0.

"It was a lot of work both on my part and the whole team. Thanks to everyone who supported me, Benfica players, the National Team, everyone. The goals are the result of all the work", added Anísio Cabral, who scored the goal in the historic triumph at the U-17 World Cup.

In the competition in question, just like José Neto – who is raising many questions among Benfica's officials –, Anísio Cabral scored seven goals and made one assist in eight matches. All things considered, the forward trained at the Eagles scored or assisted every 69 minutes on the field.

This season, playing for Benfica, Anísio Cabral played nine matches: two for the U-23 and seven for the juniors. In the 619 minutes he was on the field, the 17-year-old forward scored three goals, all for the U-19. The striker has a contract with the Eagles until June 2027.
