The coach addressed the serious injury of the right back and said that Gilberto will play in his place
Jorge Jesús left high praise for André Almeida, the starting starter on the right side of Benfica’s defense, who was seriously injured in the last game with Rio Ave and will be out of the team for a long period.
“André Almeida is not only a player who has been at Benfica for many years, he is also one of Benfica’s captains and a player who, in my opinion, has special characteristics. He may not seem like a very virtuous player technically, but he is a player with a lot of tactical quality. He is a player that I like a lot, personally, I really like having players in my team with the characteristics of André. It is no coincidence that he is at Benfica, he came at the beginning. I left Benfica, “he said at a press conference The Eagles coach also revealed who will be André Almeida’s replacement in the game with Lech Poznan this Thursday for the Europa League.
“André is an important loss, but life is like that and we have to think of another player. He has to play another in his position and tomorrow, if nothing happens, Gilberto will play,” he confided.
