Zoro hoping to resolve future quicklyDefender not banking on staying with Benfica Marc Zoro does not know where he will be playing football this season, but one thing is for sure, it will not be with the reigning Portuguese champions Benfica.
The Ivory Coast international has been aimlessly wandering the Portuguese league since his arrival in 2007. The stopper has been a flop ever since he made the switch from Italian side Messina three years ago. Zoro has had two loan spells with Vitoria de Setubal and has amassed 38 appearances in all three seasons in Portugal. The central defender was close to making a move to the Premier League with Blackburn, but one thing he knows is certain, he is not in the Lisbon club's plans. "In three years, I never had a clear opportunity to earn my spot in the (Benfica) squad, so it won't happen now," said Zoro frankly. "There has been a lot of time when I stopped dreaming about that and I am a realist. What I want to do is train and resolve my future, and have Benfica help me do that." "Last season I was close to transferring to Blackburn. I hope that this year nothing goes wrong in the last minute for me to resolve my situation as quickly as possible." "I have the (Benfica) president's promise that he will help me, but the president has never spoken to me. Although, he has always been someone who acts in a very correct manner." by Marco Pereira |
Zoro will see out the end of his contract and get every cent he can from Benfica, who were utterly stupid to offer him such high wages in the first place.
