It's one of the best leagues in Europe in football. Benfica in my opinion is one of the top 10 biggest clubs in the world.
I honestly didn't expect this much attention, but it just keeps happening so I must be doing something right.
I don't want to be one of those guys where I go there and wait a long time before I become a starter.
I've always been one of the youngest guys on the team. But now I'm one of the older guys, one of the more experienced guys, and I have to be more of a leader. The guys are looking up to me, asking me questions and looking at me to step up.
Obviously, I'm at the beginning of my career, contrary to what anyone else thinks. I'm 19 years old. In any other country, everywhere else, you're a prospect. And that's what I am right now in Europe. I'm a prospect. I'm not a seasoned veteran.
When you get into the game you've got be thinking, when I get into the attacking third I'm gonna be freakin' creative.
When I'm out there on the field, I'm in a whole different world, you know? It's like, I'm just having so much fun.
I'm going to go in and play, because the most important thing is playing on the field and being able to contribute. I really am ready.
I'm in awe right now, ... I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.
I want to be good at what I do, obviously, and to do that I need to keep my head straight.
