Benfica player on Porto's radar clears up all doubts: I'm happy | OneFootball

Lúcia Alves is going through a positive spell at Benfica, at a time when she is nearing the end of her contract and has been approached by Porto. The Portugal international prefers to focus on the present and keep enjoying her career, without worrying too much about the future.

The player does not hide her satisfaction with the path she has taken so far: "I never thought I would achieve the career I have. I really enjoy playing in Portugal for Benfica. I am happy and feel fulfilled. I think it’s about enjoying what comes without thinking about the future and making the most of everyday life".

On adapting between club and national team, Lúcia Alves says the process is natural: "It is very easy to switch the mindset from the Club to the national team. I have worked with these people for a long time and I feel good both at the Club and here. The Club is the Club and the national team is the national team. It is up to us to compete in the same way in both places".

As for the next match against Latvia, the player showed respect for the opponent despite her confidence: "We are confident, we know what we have been working on and who we are. The most important thing is to focus on ourselves. Latvia, despite the defeats, are an attacking team and have scored goals".

Lúcia Alves has been at Benfica since the 2019/20 season, becoming one of the most influential players in the Eagles’ women’s team, where she has already won five league titles, one Portuguese Cup, three Super Cups and five League Cups. This season, the number 13 shirt has made a total of 28 appearances, contributing one goal and seven assists in the 2,166 minutes she has spent on the pitch.
