The first steps in the new era

 Benfica's women's football team beat Betis by 4-0 this Saturday, August 6, at Estádio Municipal da Bela Vista, in Lagoa, Algarve. After the nil-nil at half-time, Cloé Lacasse (2), Bibocas and Inês Simas scored the goals that allowed the Inspiradoras to win the 1st edition of the Lagoa Summer Cup. See here the best images...

The first 15 minutes of this Thursday's training session at the Benfica Campus were open to all Media, time enough for signs of the intensity of the work of Roger Schmidt's men to emerge. And not even language was an obstacle, as shown by assistant coach Yann-Benjamin Kugel addressing the players in Portuguese. Luisão, technical and performance director, was also present at Benfica Campus. Watch the training highlights.

Lucas Veríssimo's dedication and enthusiasm in the recovery process from the injury he suffered against Braga, which has prevented him from competing since November 7, 2021, can be seen in his actions and words. "I feel very fulfilled today, because I am in a great club in Europe, for me one of the greatest. I am very satisfied where I am, it made my dream of reaching the National Team come true. Unfortunately one of the worst things happened to me, in an instant everything went downhill. But I will come back stronger! I want to be a champion and win titles, that is my greatest desire", guaranteed Benfica's central defender. Watch here the BTV report on the athlete's recovery, aired this Wednesday, May 11.
