Jakub Kaminski acknowledged that his debut as a starter for Benfica is still far from perfect, but he asks for time to adapt and demonstrate his full potential. The Polish winger, who played 71 minutes in the 2-0 victory against Villarreal in the last friendly match before the new official season, highlighted the evolution of the Benfica team in terms of physicality and quality during pre-season. “Maybe it wasn't a top performance, but I need time to show my qualities,” he declared to BTV.
The match took place shortly before Benfica's debut in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League, where Kaminski emphasized the importance of entering this European challenge with “confidence.” The player, who joined the squad less than two weeks ago, admitted that everything is still new to him, but stated that he feels “happy” at the Estádio da Luz. “I do everything for this team and I will give my best in the upcoming matches,” he assured.
In statements to DAZN, Kaminski highlighted the positive aspects of the team in the victory over Villarreal: “We had good moments. We improved a lot as a team, from a physical and quality standpoint. We have to continue and show this in a very important game in St. Gallen.” The Polish player also expressed excitement about the leadership of coach Marco Silva, whom he praised for his experience gained in the Premier League. “I am very happy to work with him and the coaching staff, and I have to absorb everything they want to show me,” he stated.
Kaminski's intervention reveals his ambition and desire to establish himself quickly, despite acknowledging that the adaptation process is crucial. The winger promises full commitment to stand out in a Benfica team that is looking to consolidate itself in Europe and the Portuguese League, relying on his ability to unbalance the attack. The next challenge will be decisive in understanding how well Kaminski has integrated and is ready to contribute to the team's objectives.
