#FOOTBALL MANAGER 2016 V16.1.1 FULL#
Sanches’ full debut for the club came against Astana in the Champions League in November, with a start in the league following immediately after, while his first professional goal came at the start of December – and what a goal it was too. In a central role, he’s a scampering nuisance with a never-say-die attitude, which leaves opponents frustrated and team-mates scurrying to keep up with him, with Diego Simeone and Andre Villas-Boas among opposing managers to praise his confidence and his ability. Well, for a start his energy and athleticism has breathed life into the side with Sanches’ drives forward through midfield injecting pace into the Águias as they begin attacks. In came Sanches, as a substitute, on October 30 in a 4-0 win over Tondela and since then just two games have been lost in all competitions – against Atletico Madrid and Porto – leaving them second in the Primeira Liga by three points and on the cusp of the Champions League quarter-finals, while the player himself earned a new deal which runs until 2021 and has a €80m release clause.īut just what does the bright young thing from Lisbon bring to the Benfica team?

It’s just the speed of his rise which has stunned onlookers. His potential has never been in doubt though, with caps for Portugal at youth levels from Under-15 up, forthcoming, although he’s yet to make his bow at Under-21 level. In fact, just two weeks before his first-team debut, the midfielder was in action in Aldershot as Benfica’s Under-21 side beat Chelsea 3-0 in the Premier League International Cup. The short but powerful 18-year-old has gone from B team and UEFA Youth League outings to being an integral part of the reigning Primeira Liga champions’ side. To say it’s been a whirlwind six months for Benfica youngster Renato Sanches would probably be understating matters a tad. Starting with a special talent from Portugal… TalkSPORT takes a look at how this season’s Football Manager wonderkids have been getting on. Benfica wonderkid Renato Sanches in action
