Benfica’s coach mentions that “there are concrete talks with the new club”
Roger Schmidt was asked about David Neres‘ situation, who was not with the team in Famalicão, just like Arthur Cabral, at the press conference after the 2-0 defeat to Famalicão.
Can David Neres be absent in games like this?
“He can be. He can win duels, he can dribble, but the situation is very clear. The player wants to leave, there are concrete talks with the new club. The clubs are in contact, and I need players who are fully committed. That is why he wasn’t there. Arthur wasn’t there either. We had two forwards today, it was my decision.”
