Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 and Benfica man Cesar Peixoto claims that as a club, the Reds are bigger but are not as organized as the Portistas.
The Portuguese International was released by the Eagles this term after falling down the pecking order at the helm. Having being signed from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus.
While initially he complied with the wishes of the tactician, he refused to play out of his position this season and as a result was offloaded by the club, who did not give him a jersey for the campaign.
Although he left the side on the 6th of January, he still speaks highly of them and revealed that the Lisbon giants were better than the current champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984.
"Benfica is undoubtedly the largest Portuguese club, greater than FC Porto, even in terms of fans, both nationally and internationally. But FC Porto are more organized,” he said.
He also added that he was happy with his time at Estadio da Luz but since he was not willing to play as a wingback, he parted ways with club on good terms.
"Contrary to what many might think, I consider my time at Benfica as positive, because I came to be a national champion. If things had been different, I would still be there. But I said at the beginning of the season that I wasn’t happy playing as a left-back. So we had a conversation and decided that it was best to leave without any problems,” the 31-year-old said.
Having left the Portuguese outfit, the player is currently without a contract and is looking for offers from potential suitors. And a midfielder with the amount of experience he has could easily be picked up by a new club.
However he has not properly trained for the last three months and is lacking in fitness, which is essential for someone playing the game. But if he can get himself into form, he should be able to sign for a new team in the near future and get his career back on track.
