Contents

He joined Benfica in 1938, but rarely ever played during his six years there. He made a total of 31 appearances, winning two titles.

Career

Freire joined Benfica in 1936, making his debut on 25 October, against Belenenses. [1] He was exclusively used in the Campeonato de Lisboa, playing eight games and scoring seven goals. [2] A seldom used player, competition from Gaspar Pinto and Elói made him a fringe player, appearing in only 10 games from 1938 until 1941. [3]

In 1941–42, he gained his place in the first team alongside Gaspar Pinto, helping Benfica win the league, making seven appearances. [4] [5] Following another season without receiving playing time in the league, he left the club, with 31 matches played and seven goals. [1] [6]
