Philippe Clement singles out Lucrative £103m-rated Benfica wonderkid ahead of Rangers clash
Joao Neves, the wonderkid of Benfica, has been singled out by Philippe Clement ahead of their Europa League
second-leg match at Ibrox.
The Rangers manager was speaking before the eagerly awaited 5:45 p.m. kickoff in Glasgow, where the match was
evenly balanced following a 2-2 draw in Portugal.
Although Rangers have previously proven they are competitive in this weight class, how deft can Philippe Clement’s
side box be when facing the Portuguese heavyweights?
The Rangers manager thinks that in order to accomplish this, the team will need to contend with Benfica’s World
Cup winners, Joao Neves, as well as the talent worth over £120 million in their Europa League team.
Philippe Clement singles out Joao Neves
Philippe Clement was speaking at the pre-game press conference about Rangers’ chances of beating Benfica at Ibrox.
Declaring that beating Benfica would be a “huge surprise” in European soccer, the manager specifically mentioned Joao Neves, who is
rumored to be heading to Manchester United for £103 million.
We’re not ignorant, Clement clarified. “We are aware that Benfica has a very skilled and experienced team.
“Their squad includes World Cup winners. They have a number of young, extremely talented players who could already be worth a lot of
money after this season. Gamers such as Joao Neves, for instance.
“And other players who played really at a high level already before so we know it would be a really big surprise in
all of Europe if we could take out Benfica. “But we are really hungry to do that.”
Talented Benfica squad set for Europa League battle
With Nicholas Otamendi and Angel di Maria leading the way as the team that will win the 2022 Argentine World Cup, everyone is aware
of the threats and talent that Benfica possesses.
However, Rangers are up against an expensively assembled and talented team that also includes stars like Orkun Kokcu,
Arthur Cabral, Rafa Silva, and David Neres.
However, Joao Neves, who is only 19 years old, is thought to be one of the best players in European football
and made an impression in the first leg.
Having spent over £850 million in transfer fees since the year 2000, Benfica has established a reputation
as one of the best in the industry for developing young players.
With a €120 million release clause, the young Portuguese international is most likely going to be the next player off the conveyor belt.
Nothing compares to a Europa League Round of 32 matchup between Glasgow and Benfica at Ibrox,
and a sold-out crowd will guarantee that this is a night to remember.
One of the heroes from the contest in Lisbon is expected to miss the game, according to Philippe Clement’s injury update prior to kickoff.
