The Portuguese international midfielder Palhinha trained for the first time at Benfica this Saturday, marking the official start of his connection to the club. The training session represented the player's first contact with the working methods of the coaching staff led by Bruno Lage.
The behind-the-scenes of Palhinha's first day in Seixal were marked by moments of great intensity, with the coaching staff motivating the player with phrases like "You're flying" and "Don't stop", revealing the expectations placed on the signing for the season.
Palhinha arrived at Benfica in a transfer from Fulham, the English club where he was a regular starter in the Premier League. The Portuguese player brings with him the experience of several seasons abroad and an extensive international career with the Portuguese national team.
The integration of the midfielder into the team is being closely monitored by the technical structure, which intends to adapt him quickly to Benfica's playing style so that he can be an asset in the upcoming challenges of the season.
