With nearly 800 goals scored since arriving at Benfica in 2019, Petar Djorjic doesn’t go unnoticed on the pitch, and off the field, the Benfica left-back handball makes his skin the tattoo board designed by his brother. “Everyone has its meaning,” assured the 32-year-old Serbian, in a conversation with A BOLA, arguing that he still had space to memorialize the moments he lived in the service of the Luz logo, which this Wednesday will make its debut for the Portuguese national team in the World Cup handball clubs in Saudi Arabia. .

One of the talking points (which you can read in full in . format Digital) It was about the friend Noel. Novak Djokovic said he’s from Benfica?! The handball player responded between his laughter, of course. “95% of people in Serbia really like Benfica because it is a club with a history of Serbian footballers. So, with every match at Benfica, Serbia becomes a Benfica player,” said Petar, who was excited to recall his friendship with the former world number 1 tennis player.

“I met Novak in Serbia. He went to talk to an agent in a neighborhood where he had an apartment. I saw him on the street and he came out and introduced myself as a handball player and he said he knows me. We talked a little and exchanged contacts. In Serbia, they made a big story out of it, but it’s nothing special, we wish each other Some have good luck in the big races. He is, to me, the greatest athlete ever, and it is an honor to exchange messages with him.”
