Asked about his versatility, the former Estrela da Amadora player assured that he can play wherever the coach wants. «I can add a lot of aggression, strength and a lot of speed. And, yes, I can play wherever the coach puts me.” The 23-year-old also addressed the phone call he received from Mourinho, before signing a contract with the Eagles. «I can say it was short, but it was strong. That's how you say it in Dutch, but it was a good call. He was very direct with me and told me what he expected from me, what he wanted from me. It was really good,” he said. Sidny Cabral has signed until 2030 with Benfica and will wear the Reds' number 15 jersey.
