Moving to Benfica was the best decision I ever made, says Nolito – Primeira Liga News
Benfica forward Nolito claims that his decision to move from Catalan giants Barcelona to the Primeira Liga was the best he ever made, as it has allowed him to showcase his skills at the highest level.
Nolito transferred from Barcelona this summer and made the switch to Benfica. At the club, he has been firing on all cylinders and it looks like his move has paid him rich dividends.
Netting almost seven times since the start of the new campaign, the Spaniard has earned ravenous reviews, all the while playing in high profile tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League against top quality opposition.
However, this would have definitely not been possible at Camp Nou, as manager Pep Guardiola had the best players in the world at his disposal. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 and Andres Iniesta made up the core of the Barca attack and provided fierce
competition for game time.
Had Nolito been plying his trade with the La Liga champions, he would probably been fielded in small cup games or as a last minute substitution in the league. But his switch to Estadio da Luz has ensured that he plays week-in, week-out.
Speaking about his decision to sign for the Reds, the attacker revealed that he is enjoying his time in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 and said that coming here was definitely a great idea.
"Life, for me here is very good. It was the best decision I made, I'm happy," he said.
Nolito also reflected on his side’s start to the term, saying that he was very pleased with the goals he had scored and that until now everything had exceeded his expectations.
"I scored two more against Academica. I am very pleased with the start of the League, it is better than expected. But I have to keep working.”
"I left Barcelona to play more football. My time there was over. I think I did well by moving to Benfica,” he said.
Nolito will have another chance to shine this weekend, when Benfica take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 at Estadio do Dragao on Sunday.
