Derlei at Portugal Football Globes: highlights Benfica’s key strength | OneFootball

During another edition of the Portugal Football Globes gala, several notable figures who shone for Portugal's major teams were spotted, including Derlei, who played for the big three. In conversation with journalists, the former player commented on José Mourinho's return to Benfica.

At the same gala, where Mourinho was also present, the former player of the reds praised the Special One, stating that he still has the skills he demonstrated throughout his career: "Of course, certainly. I believe in the ability he has shown throughout his career".

Then, the 'ninja' applauded the choice made by the Clube da Luz, considering that the reds did well in betting on a name with experience in the league: "He has an enviable resume. I think it's important for the Portuguese League, naturally, just as Benfica did now, to bring in coaches who have that know-how, who can add many things".

Finally, the forward recalled that the impact José Mourinho will have will not only be felt at Clube da Luz but also in the league itself, due to his vast experience in European football: "We know the knowledge he brings, not only to Benfica but to the League".

Finally, when asked about the qualities of the big three, Derlei explained that the teams in question are always on equal footing when it comes to the players they present: "Well, in reality, when we talk about the squads, I think the 3 big clubs in Portugal have well-stocked teams, meaning they have some athletes who are truly exceptional, athletes who can really decide games".
