António Silva: "The essence of the Club is the youth development"
António Silva, one of the first team players nurtured at Benfica Campus – who has represented the Club since 2014 and has already played 150 matches in the first team –, who has represented the Club since 2014 and has already played 150 games in the AA – explained the importance of the infrastructure, which celebrates its 19th anniversary on September 22. "Things have evolved. When I arrived, they were different. Today, the infrastructure is better and more developed, which greatly helps with what players need, what athletes need, and what people need, and that is commendable. The commitment to youth development is very important for us to be able to reach the first team and play as well as possible," said the Portuguese international, adding: "Benfica excels in youth football, and the players have everything they need to perform at their best. The essence of the Club is youth development."
