Vid Belec is ready to move to Olhanense on loan. The one who announced the deal is the player himself who, in an interview with MaisFutebol talks about his choice: “There are several reasons to choose Olhanese. First of all, we’re talking about a team that plays in the Primeira Liga. The second is that the Algarve is a wonderful place to live and work in. The third is the coach Abel Xavier and the club’s project that is very ambitious.”
The determining factor for Belec’s choice was also the advice of Igor Campedelli, new investor in Olhanense: “Yes, for me he was important. I was kept informed, I know I will be playing in big stadiums against very strong teams. Porto, Benfica, Sporting , Braga and Guimarães are fantastic opponents. I need to play at this level. I have been coached by José Mourinho, this made me accept. for me he is the greatest symbol of Portuguese football.”
Belec then remembered back to the period between 2008 and 2010 when he worked daily with the Special One: “I was still a little kid. Ahead of me, I had Julio Cesar, Toldo and Orlandoni. It would have been easy for Mourinho to not say anything to me but he sacrificed a lot of time to correct me, he told me to work with my head and told me to follow closely the goalkeepers who were older than me. Now Handanovic is Inter’s number one and to play, I had to leave. I want to get back to the national team and fight with Jan Oblak (Benfica ed.) for a position as second ‘keeper.”
In Olhanese he will have to compete with goalkeeper Ricardo: “I remember him from the Portuguese national team. We will certainly try to be good teammates.”
