More than an hour after opening its doors to the public, the autograph session of the women’s football team of Benfica, which took place in the club’s official store at Estádio da Luz, surpassed… the statue of Eusébio.
It was a real bath crowd to greet, take pictures or ask for autographs to the recently crowned three-time national champions, who were represented by their entire squad still in a festive mood.
Carole Costa, who added the fourth national title on a personal level – she had already been champion with Sporting – was convinced that the men’s team will also win the national title.
«Certainly they will also manage to be champions like us», predicted the centre-back, who is already thinking about the Women’s World Cup, which will take place this summer in New Zealand and in which Portugal will participate for the first time.
«We have a fantastic and united group, which works in difficulties. We know that we are going to find a difficult group, but we are going to manage to overcome these challenges », she assured, placed before giants such as USA and Netherlands.
Ana Vitória, on the other hand, is the common denominator of all the titles achieved by Benfica at the female level. She has dressed in red since the first day of the activation of women’s football at the club and reserved only praise for the team.
The Brazilian highlighted the harmony that helps talent to express itself, praising the high level it presents.
«I think that Benfica raising the level does not harm Benfica itself, quite the contrary. What can happen is that they push for the level of the other teams», he analyzed about an eagle that also bets on young players, like Beatriz Nogueira, who at just 19 years old was also crowned three-time national champion.
The striker made her debut as a senior even before Filipa Patão took over the technical command and gave the motto about the work carried out by the structure: «Betting on training is betting on winning.»
