When Rui Vitoria was presented as manager this past summer one of the main objectives both he and Luis Filipe Veiria stressed was the development of youth players. For many fans this was something that had been sorry lacking under Jorge Jesus and so we remained cautiously optimistic about what that future looked like. It would not take long to see as almost immediately players like Nelson Semedo and Gonçalo Guedes were thrown into the mix, setting a precedent that they would be integral to the team. Even Victor Andrade had a small stint, though many were confused why as he had not featured during pre season, yet he scored a valuable goal.
