A regular presence at French side Nice, Tiago Gouveia regrets not being part of the squad under José Mourinho, especially because he would be another option among Benfica's wingers. The striker is on loan from the Reds and Nice has a purchase option worth 8 million euros. «I'm a vertical winger by origin. Lukebakio had a lot of playing time before his injury, Rodrigo Rêgo is a winger I identify with. In other words, looking at the players that the manager has used, perhaps he could have more minutes than he would have with manager Bruno Lage", he said in an interview with Sport TV. Having his first experience abroad, at the age of 24, Tiago Gouveia has played 14 games for Nice, which has recorded nine consecutive defeats and occupies 13th place in Ligue 1. In this interview, the winger recalled the fans' attacks on the squad. «They forced us to get off the bus and pass between them, because they blocked the entrance to the training center. We went one by one, I didn't even look back. Of course it leaves a mark, it leaves a scar on the group, but we have our work to do, we are confident and that is the most important thing», he added.
