Benfica formation featured in The Guardian

At the parade of the duel with Arsenal, the English newspaper dedicated a report to the Seixal factory focused on the evolution of Gonçalo Ramos

Benfica’s duel against Arsenal for the Europa League motivated the English newspaper “The Guardian” to delve into the secrets of the red formation. Citing João Félix, Rúben Dias, Bernardo Silva and João Cancelo as Campus Football products of excellence, the British newspaper focused its report on the evolution of Gonçalo Ramos, who, curiously, is low for this Thursday’s duel. “All the players in the squad see these examples as inspiration and motivation. They show that we are growing in the right place to reach the most important stages in the world,” says the young forward, quoted by “The Guardian”.

Pedro Marques, technical director of Futebol Campus, was also heard in the same report and spoke of the impact of experienced players, such as Vertonghen and Otamendi, on the evolution of young talents. “It is important that they have opportunities and that they can share a dressing room with the most experienced players of the main team. Our mission is to prepare them for that jump. It is difficult for any promoted player of the youth team to play everything. Matches among the elite. Things take time and it is important that there is a good connection with the players of the main team, ”he said.
