Jorge Jesús was not sure, but he practically confirmed the transfer of Rúben Dias to Manchester City. And he even took “some blame” …
«I am almost certain that it was the last game that [Rúben Dias] did. In football sometimes everything changes in the last second, but I think that is not going to happen. We are sorry to see you go. He is the product of Seixal, a captain, a national team player … But I also have some guilt that he leaves. It has to do with the elimination of the Champions League, there are things that must be balanced and Rúben has a high market, “said the coach of the red, immediately assuming the need to hire … two centrals.
«We already wanted a central, with the departure of Rúben we have to hire two, we have no doubt about that. It is not easy to hire a central to face the value of Rúben Dias. In the business there is another central, but I do not know details, because he was focused on the game with Moreirense, but now we will see. Otamendi? He is a player who has already proven his worth at FC Porto, he is a player for the Argentine National Team and has always been a starter at Manchester City, he just stopped being so now. Of course he is a player that I like ”, he continued, without stopping:“ The player who enters will realize that my ideas are completely different from those I had at Manchester City. You will have to adapt, if it is him. In the case of Rúben Semedo, who has also been talked about, no longer, because he has been with me for a year and knows exactly what I want ».
Jorge Jesús also recognized that Vinícius could also be negotiated. “If we let Rúben Dias go, why not let Vinícius?” He fired. “Until you close the window, most of the players will be in that situation, then we will make our adjustments. As a coach, I don’t only have to look at the interests of the team, but also the interests of the club. If the club has to make adjustments, no matter how hard it costs me to lose Rúben, Vinícius or any other player. I have to share this pain, because it is part of Benfica’s future project, “he concluded.
