The coach of Estoril Praia, Pepa, publicly praised Renato Sanches, considering him "the best I've ever seen." The statements were made in the context of preparation for the match between the two teams.
Pepa has known Renato Sanches since his youth days at Benfica, having closely followed the evolution of the midfielder when he was still a player in the Lisbon club's youth teams.
The player, currently at Estoril Praia, has been recovering his form after a less positive period in his career, and Pepa's words come as recognition of the technical quality that has always been attributed to him.
The match between Estoril Praia and Benfica, scheduled for the Portuguese Primeira Liga, was the backdrop for these statements by Pepa about the former eagles player.
