José Neto: I’ve been coming to the stadium since I was little, being..

Just hours after making his debut as a starter for Benfica in the 3-0 victory against AVS , young José Neto confessed to BTV that it is a dream to play for this club and in this stadium, the Estádio da Luz, of course.

It’s something I’ve always looked for since I arrived at the club. I think it was a dream debut too . The victory was deserved on our part. We ended up playing a good game, I’m very happy, said the 17=year=old left=back.

Highly praised by José Mourinho at the end of the match, who named him the best player on the pitch , Jose Neto says he tries to “always be as focused as possible on the game in order to help the team.

I think I went in confident. I’ve been preparing myself over time and I thank the manager for the confidence he has placed in me and for the opportunities he has given me, he added.

Valuing the development work carried out by Benfica, the young full=back promises to continue working to have more opportunities like this. Since I was little I’ve been coming to the stadium, it’s something I really enjoyed, I never refused whenever I had the opportunity to come. Now being able to be there is a dream come true, he added.
