An insanely good assist from Carlos here, as Benfica beat Belenenses Portugal 3:2, in the Primeira Liga, on 31.01.2020if we can get a taste of this in the Premier League, then this kid is going to become very famous.
This is precisely the sort of special little balls that players like Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura ought to be playing into dangerous areas. Just one of 8 assists that the 25-year-old got for his former club last season.
The first one was for Benfica as they defeated Rio Ave 3:2, this time in the Taça de Portugal, 14.01.2020. Another piece of lightening fast thinking that resulted in a goal. The second was a lovely unselfish and controlled header down for his teammate to polish off.
This time Vinícius confidently controls the ball and lays on the killer pass for the goal as Benfica beat Desportivo Aves 2:1 on 10.01.2020.
This time, it’s another canny flick from Carlos, as Benfica beat Cova da Piedade 0:4 on 18.10.2019.
All in all, this boy looks mustard.
45.CArLos is going to be great.
Can’t access it either but I have watched some stuff on YouTube and this boy is a real athlete. He is going to be a real handful for defenders.
Unfortunately I can’t access the video.Let’s hope your observations are true.
Welcome to THFC Kid Vinicius.
Very exciting – was expecting an old huff and puff’er like Costa/Giroud/Deeney etc a la the Llorente signing
If it was Jose who put paid to that strategy then nice one, a striker approaching his peak who has already played a load of football
I have to say ‘Sid’ Vinicious, looks a pretty useful player! He certainly knows where the net is also. Last season he averaged a goal for every 99 minutes he was on the pitch, almost a goal a game. Notwithstanding it was in the Portuguese league, those are very impressive statistics and all from open play.
