Darwin Núñez was presented this Friday afternoon. The most expensive player in the history of Benfica (24 million euros) showed enormous ambition and wants to justify the amount that the eagles invested in him. “I want to stay here as long as I can and when I leave, that an idol is at Benfica,” said the Uruguayan international, who even made a confession: “I wish Cavani was there.”
His attacking partner Vinícius also deserved a lot of praise: “There are great players, forward like Vinícius. The other day I saw the game and he is very good, intelligent. It will be a healthy competition with Vinícius.” Rui Costa explained that the delay in making the agreement official was due to “bureaucracy” between the two clubs. “Nothing to do with the player and the player’s coaches,” said the Benfica SAD administrator, predicting a great future for Darwin: “he will be one of the great forwards of this decade in world football.”
EVERYTHING SAID IN THE PRESENTATION:
Darwin – How did Benfica convince you?“There were many offers but when they told me about Benfica he told me he wanted to come here. I thank João [Gonçalves] for telling me about the project. My dream was to come here. It is the first time that I will play against a big club in Europe. “
Darwin – the words of Rui Costa“I am excited to hear the words of Rui Costa. I am going to work to do my best at Benfica and be a great player and stay in history. I came here to win titles and for everything to go well. I want to stay here as long as I can. and when to retire to become a Benfica idol “
Darwin – Past injuries and Benfica’s history“Benfica is a great club in Europe, I have not yet had the opportunity to speak with the player, but tomorrow I will. If it gives me confidence, I have to give it back.”
Darwin: What do you know about the team?“I arrived now and being the starter will tell the time. There are great players, forward like Vinícius. The other day I saw the game and he is very good, intelligent. It will be a healthy competition with Vinícius.”
Darwin – The pressure on Cavani does not come?“I would like Cavani to be here, it would be an important piece but they didn’t make it. I’m here to play and do my best.”
Darwin – About Jesus and how he fits in“The Benfica manager has a history at Flamengo, I don’t know much about him but I know he won many titles at Flamengo. Now he is here, I am at your disposal to learn and listen to him.”
Darwin – Transfer amount“It is a pride, I work for my future always with humility. They will ask me for goals and I trust. I will leave everything on the field to help my teammates. The goals will come.”
Darwin – First Impressions
“I feel very good and at the moment. I have high expectations of wearing this jersey and training.”
Followed by Darwin Núñez.
Rui Costa – Will Benfica manage without forwards?“The market is open and Benfica will be pending and entering until the last day. Like every year. This year we made an ambitious and well-studied market, meeting the requirements of our coach, hoping that by the end of the year we will have the result we expect .
Rui Costa – participation of Paulo Gonçalves“He already cleared it up in the morning. He worked with me and I respect him a lot. He appeared in this business as a lawyer for the player’s coaches, period. He was not the intermediary for Benfica but an agent for the player’s coaches.”
Rui Costa – Transfer amount
“This is the first request I make of the fans and the advice for the player is this. He is a 21-year-old boy and there will be a lot to talk about in this decade in world football. We already had other more expensive players. Pizzi was the most expensive at that time and today was one of the best in the league, Rafa and Jiménez alike. May he and the fans abstract from that. “
Rui Costa – Comparisons with Cavani?“We are going to separate the waters. We were ambitious and a window appeared to bring Cavani, we tried. We were ambitious and we searched until the end. Darwin has nothing to do. I understand the connection, because the country is the same. Darwin has always been there. Regarding preferences, Regardless of Cavani, the three parties involved in the process, Benfica, agents, player and Almería, had an exemplary behavior in a negotiation that was not easy but there was a strong will that this day be fulfilled.
Rui Costa:
“A very happy day for our club with a reinforcement that we hope will be of great weight. But the only thing that happened yesterday were delays in medical examinations and at the same time bureaucracies to clarify with Almería, which took longer than expected So we decided move on to today. The theory is this, it is a large transfer, requiring a lot of bureaucracy. Nothing to do with the player and the player’s coaches. It was just a bureaucracy between the two clubs, normal. We could have presented it yesterday at 23:00.
Due to the competition in the transfer, many people are thinking like us, he will be one of the great forwards of this decade in world football. He is being nice to many for the values involved, but was very attentive in all areas.
