Jessica Silva on Filipa Patão’s Impactful Journey

Jessica Silva confessed that Filipa Patão was “a problem” in her life and the coach with whom he got worse throughout his career. The Portuguese International, which is leaving the American Gotham FC, also added that one does not see his career in Portugal.

In an appearance on Radio Renascença’s “The Fourth of the Morning” program, the 30 -year -old footballer was uniform about the impact of the years he had Filipa Patão as a coach at Benfica.

“I don’t know if it was the worst coach, because we are not here discussing qualities, but no doubt it was a problem in my life in quotes. What did I get worse? Yes, clearly. There was a coach, João Marques, who was “hard”, but we are friends. With the mister Patão was not a friendship, I took some “pads”, “said the striker.

About the future, he says just wanting to “be calm, play the ball and be happy.”

«Return to Portugal? I don’t think it’s going to end your career in Portugal. End on Sporting? No, and Sporting, with all due respect, wants nothing to do with it either. Sometimes I pity the phenomenon that is happening in Portugal, because it can’t just be one to invest. I liked there to be more attention to women’s football, Jessica Silva concluded.

The Portuguese International has represented the Gotham FC since last year, but has revealed that it will leave the club in New Jersey later this month.

Filipa Patão has recently said goodbye to Benfica, who led to the conquest of five national championships, a Portuguese Cup, two Super Cups and five League Cups. The coach will move to the American Boston Legacy.
