About an hour before the start of Benfica-Lille, Jorge Jesus (and also Evandro Mota, an eagle psychologist) exchanged impressions with Renato Sanches, a former eagle player.
In one of the benches of substitutes at the Estádio do Algarve, the two were chatting for a few minutes, then joining Rui Costa, president of Benfica.
The Portuguese midfielder, remember, only played for one season (2015/16) in the main team of the eagles, being then transferred to Bayern Munich. In 2014/15, the last season of Jorge Jesus in his first spell at Benfica, the coach even called the young man to some first-team training.
