Once again, the Brazilian winger was no longer a fixture and there were new signs of discontent.

David Neres was a substitute again at Benfica, this time at Barcelos, after Roger Schmidt brought him on in the 63rd minute. After the match, after he went to the changing rooms.

In addition, Neres was not present in the refresher training that was conducted by the bench after the end of the third round match, in which those who appeared on the bench also participated in the match, which the Eagles won 3-2.

Even before the opening whistle, Neres was already in the news due to the comment of his wife Kira Winona, who responded on social media by saying: “It was good in Lisbon”.

In response to a question about the option to keep the player on the bench, Roger Schmidt said he was convinced that he had made the best decision, recalling the physical problems he faced during the pre-season.
