The goal issue was one of the themes at Roger Schmidt’s press conference. Helton Leite is leaving and the German coach was asked about Benfica’s supposed interest in Hugo Souza.
′′ Helton wanted to leave, he’s going to Turkey to play more. He is a good person and an excellent goalkeeper, too good to be number two », he commented, continuing:
“Then we had to make a decision… We believe a lot in our young people. We have three excellent goalkeepers and we have to trust them, give them the opportunity to grow, to develop. That’s why we gave them [Samuel Soares e André Gomes] the opportunity to be number 2 and number 3. It’s a big difference. Something could happen to Odysseas Vlachodimos and suddenly they have to play, but we believe in them. I have an excellent impression of them in training, the goalkeeper coaches support us and we are well served in that regard. We will continue with the goalkeepers we have at the moment and we are not in the market for one “, he shot.
