Moments after Benfica Officially formalize Jessica Silva’s departure In a statement on the club’s official website, it was the turn of the Portuguese international striker to take to social media to leave a message of gratitude to the club and its fans for the achievements and memories that will forever remain at the service of her “heart of the club”.
It was a beautiful story: Sport Lisbon and Benfica. I never hid from you that I play football for the club of my heart. With you, my dream came true. Together we managed to win many titles and there are some moments that will always remain in my memory. Many, many. There are not 10 photos that can convey even a tenth of what I lived. And suddenly: playing and becoming a champion at the Estádio da Luz, scoring; my grandmother watching, the whole family, a trip to the Champions League… and, of course, the most special thing for me… THE PORTUGUESE CUP. It was a dream, I had a dream again. And I was happy… despite all the obstacles. I am bigger and better. Thank you, Benfica!, can be read in a long message published on Instagram by the player, who is now back in the United States: “It is true, life is made up of cycles and this one has come to an end. It was an intense adventure of friendship, learning, passion and glory. History will leave behind assists, goals, memorable victories, defeats that left us wanting more, tears and big smiles… This is football with all its incredible intensity! Now all I can do is remember with nostalgia, but also with great pride, everything we managed to achieve together in shades of red and white! I leave this club a more experienced athlete and a woman with a bigger heart. Benfica fans, it has truly been a beautiful journey. I have always felt your special affection, from the first to the last minute, and I will never forget it! To you who have influenced me throughout this journey, whether you are teammates, coaches, staff or fans… I carry you in my heart! I will always be one of you! Thank you for everything.”
