The Spanish winger returned to action minutes after undergoing shoulder surgery that kept him out of action since November last year. “I need time to be 100% ready,” he admits.

Fresinda was one of the good news for Ruben Amorim in the duel with Young Boys. The Spanish winger, who is just 19 years old and one of the reinforcements for this season, and who has not competed since November last year, began by thanking everyone who has stood by him in recent months.

“First, I must thank the technical staff, the medical staff, and my colleagues during these months, which were difficult for me. They have always been with me and I am grateful to them. How did you feel? “I felt good and obviously I need time to be 100 percent,” the Spaniard said.

“Now that I'm back, I'm only thinking about helping the team. I've always been happy here, life is amazing and now even more so. I have to keep going. European League? For me, since this is my first year in the Europa League, it is a matter of pride to be able to get minutes, which is amazing.

Regarding the future, Fresinda now focuses her attention on sparring with Rio Avi.

“First we have to think about Sunday’s match and see what happens. Fans? They don't believe it. I didn't know how big this club was. When we play away from home, it's like playing here at Alvalade. It's an incredible feeling. “I have received so many messages of support from them on social media over these months and I just have to thank them.”
