Gilberto and Diogo Gonçalves tested until January – Benfica

Gilberto and Diogo Gonçalves are André Almeida’s natural substitutes and will be under evaluation until January. Immediately, they will be the two alternatives to Almeida, but they will have to prove their worth. Until the market reopens, Jorge Jesús and the soccer structure will evaluate the two players and, if they please, SAD will not hire anyone. If, on the contrary, the conclusion is different, the incarnates will study new options. Jorge Jesús always said that he wanted two quality alternatives per position.

In Vila do Conde, the 27-year-old Brazilian hired by Fluminense was André Almeida’s replacement. He made his official debut within a few minutes of preseason. For now, ahead of Gonçalves, who is still adjusting to the position. The local winger, who returned to Luz after a loan to Famalicão, is being worked by JJ and has already considered that the 23-year-old Portuguese under-21 international may be a solution in that position. “He is a boy who was formed in the club and in whom I believe a lot. I think you can give more in another position. The side? Yes ”, replied the coach, after the 5-1 victory in Famalicão, at the opening of the championship.
