Nuno Campilho on Anísio at Benfica: Let’s not get carried away | OneFootball

Nuno Campilho anticipates a bright future for Anísio Cabral, however, "we must be patient". In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our newspaper had a conversation with the well-known fan who, besides acknowledging the quality of the young Benfica forward, argues that it is still too early to draw certain conclusions.

"Let's be patient! His usefulness is an undeniable fact. His physical presence, technical quality, and scoring ability (especially in terms of efficiency) also seem quite evident to me, predicting a brilliant and very successful future for this young man. However, as I said at the beginning, let's be patient," Nuno Campilho began in an exclusive interview with Glorioso 1904.

Focusing on the Club's squad, when questioned by our newspaper about Franjo Ivanović, the well-known fan was clear: "Dahl was insufficient, and Schjelderup and Prestianni did not establish themselves, being pointed out as transferable, and today we can see. Ivanović should follow the example of his colleagues and make his way. And I say this with the conviction that we are dealing with a good player whose qualities I appreciate. Give him time." It should be noted that the Croatian forward has not registered any minutes in the second half of the League.

Regarding the recent draw in Porto - Sporting (1-1), the Benfica fan highlighted the possible conquest of the 39th championship: "Whether it has a direct impact or not on the title race, only time and results will tell. For Benfica, the task is not to make mistakes and to continue on its 100% victorious path, as it does not only depend on itself, but also on potential 'slip-ups' from those opponents, which, even so, will be of no use - or of little use, as seen in the poor exploitation of Porto's defeat in Rio Maior - if Benfica does not win its matches."

With the matches against Real Madrid for the Champions 'play-off' just around the corner, Nuno Campilho acknowledges that the clash will bring difficulties. "I hope - and I will strive for it, mentally - that the motivation given to us by the epic victory in the last game of the first phase will be greater than the desire for revenge on the part of the Madrid team. It will be difficult, obviously, and playing two legs against a Real of astronomical dimension makes the difficult close to impossible, but, even so, I trust," he concluded.
