Chiquinho on his transfer to Olympiacos: "The best decision of my life"

Chiquinho described his transfer to Olympiacos as the best decision of his life in an interview with DAZN. He explained that he saw his position in Benfica's starting lineup diminishing, despite having signed a contract renewal. He acknowledged the emergence of new talents within the team, such as Joao Neves, and the acquisition of Kyokuchu, which led him to seek new professional opportunities. Benfica's coach, Roger Schmidt, tried to convince him to stay, but Chiquinho desired more playing time. Olympiacos' offer came at a time when he was a free agent and he considered it the ideal choice for his career.
