“I wasn't expecting it. Everything happened so quick", said Luís Maximiano in an interview this week after his pre-season medical exams, taken back by a surprise call-up to Jorge Jesus' senior squad.
“I couldn't be happier. It is a dream for any player of my age to get into Sporting's senior team and now I will work hard to repay the people who have shown confidence in me", added the 17-year old, finishing: "I would like to follow Rui Patrício's example. He will be with me to help me grow."
