Bruno Lage, coach of Benfica, at a press conference, after the victory over Tirsense (4-0) at Estádio da Luz, in the second leg of the Portuguese Cup Half:
Did Hugo Felix launched a future duo with brother John?
«I was wrong with the brother of Felix, I was putting the other (Nuno Felix) and only today did I realize that this is the brother (laughs). We started with five players of the formation: Samuel Soares, António Silva, Florentino and Adrian Bajrami, besides Hugo and also launched João Veloso … There are many players who worked directly with me and we have not had the opportunity to give an opportunity. They have all had a fantastic job and we are always attentive. About the other John (Felix), it is not a theme. We have to cherish those who entered the beginning and those who played half-hour, these are our players and those who have to cherish and protect. João Félix and Bernardo Silva are not a theme, for a long time that I do not talk to them and are in their lives. These are the present and eventually the future.
Is this a door closer to João Félix and Bernardo Silva or is there a possibility to return?
«I always believe that the future goes through the formation and talent we have here. It is not a closing of doors. It was also talked about Ederson … but they are in a different dimension from Benfica's. There may be a return, but I do not believe it is next season.
