Sporting de Braga footballer Iuri Medeiros recalled the goal scored by the Minho against Benfica, in the 2020/21 season, in Luz, against the team then led by Jorge Jesusto recount episodes experienced with the current coach of Fenerbahçe when both shared a locker room at Sporting.
Iuri Medeiros played 11 games and scored a goal for Sporting in 2017/18, the only season he was used with Jesus in the Lions. And, according to Iuri, Jesus told him that he only knew how to shoot the “banana” to score a goal.
′′ It’s something I do naturally in a game. If I have a chance to score, I shoot like that because it’s a strength I have. When he was at Sporting, he trained, gave a banana and scored goals often. Jesus there said that I only knew how to do this, I didn’t know how to do anything else. I laughed. The truth is that he ended up conceding a goal like that in Luz», recalled the 28-year-old Azorean winger, who is in his third season in Braga, in statements on the club’s podcast «Pod Next».
“I could have sent you a message. At the festivities I passed him, but I didn’t want to look. I preferred to celebrate with my teammates », he shared.
