In a tough spell, Benfica star shares special message | OneFootball

Despite the defeat against Felgueiras (2-1), which continues the apathetic start of Benfica B Benfica in the Liga Portugal Meu Super, the goal scored by José Melro turned out to be special. Through social media, the young athlete, author of the only goal for the reds, made a point of dedicating it to his grandmother, who recently passed away.

Hours later, after the end of the match, Nélson Veríssimo’s pupil shared a post on his official Instagram account where he dedicated the goal to a very special family member: “Hello grandma, I just want to tell you that it was, is, and always will be a pride to be your grandson.”

“You were someone who brightened my days, someone with contagious energy and joy that could change the day of anyone who had the chance to talk to you!” continued the number 97 for the reds, showering his grandmother with heartfelt praise.

Throughout the post, the footballer revealed that yesterday, September 13, was a difficult day for everyone, however, he believes his family member is at peace: “Yesterday was a hard day for the whole family, but the sadness I felt didn’t last long because I know you went to be with Jesus, and there’s nothing more valuable than that! I know you’re in a better place, I know you’re well, and that’s enough for me!”

“I’m left only with the feeling of eternal longing for everything you mean in my life and the importance you had in this beautiful journey I’ve been on! Today was for you! Today and ALWAYS! A kiss from your grandson who loves you so much!!! Watch over us❤️,” wrote José Melro, dedicating the goal scored against Felgueiras to her.
