EXCLUSIVE STATEMENTS

The center-back John Brooks, 29 years old, is the new signing of the professional football team of Sport Lisboa e Benfica. The North American signed a 1-year deal (until 2023). 

"It’s a great feeling, it’s an honor for me to come to Benfica, a huge club. It’s great for me, hopefully also for the club", he said.

"I know that Benfica is one of the biggest clubs in the world, they play the Champions League every year and play good football. If I spoke to Luca Waldschmidt? Not yet because everything went quick. But when he came to Wolfsburg, we spoke about it and he said everything is perfect, organized, and professional about Benfica", he revealed.

Brooks wants to "help the team" with his "style of play"… "I bring experience with me and hopefully I can help the team play even better."

Looking at individual and collective goals, the player shows his ambition. "First I want to get to know all players and the staff as quick as possible. Then, of course, everybody wants to play, and it’s the same with me", underlined, aiming at trophies: "If you play for Benfica, it’s all about titles! I’m very glad and honored to be here. I will give my best!"
