Quique confirms Yebda

Hassan Yebda will be a player of Benfica next season. The confirmation was made by Quique Flores during the official presentation as coach of Benfica.

The French player; aged 24 years old, was in Lisbon and hosted in the same hotel, where Quique Flores and where the negotiations took place for hiring the trainer.

The Director-sports of Benfica Rui Costa tried to avoid the question but with a smile on the face said:

"I didn't see Yebda there [the hotel]. I was there all night! All the Benfica players will have the support of the coach of Benfica. Yebda is a player that may interest the new coach of Benfica. He hasn't joined us just yet."

then, Quique Flores was questioned whether Yebda is one of the reinforcements that he was after: "Yebda is a competitive player that would be able to go to other clubs. For his capacity and youth it seems to me sensible to incorporate in Benfica. We will have the opportunity to integrate him in pre-season, where we will make a thorough analysis of each player and we will put it in position he should play this season at Benfica. "
