Hildeberto Pereira is a thrilling right footed player, with inestimable individual pace and dribbling ability. Hildeberto uses his skills to out-pace full-backs down the touchline as well as cut inside with verve and imagination. His physical strength and mental toughness became essential characteristics of his elite performance, additions which have confirmed Hildeberto’s transformation from raw prodigy to a world class force in constant growth. His style of play reminisces of the late Garrincha.

His natural ability is to beat opposition defence and create danger. Hildeberto is a livewire, always producing goal-scoring opportunities for teammates or beating the keeper himself following a typically mesmeric run. The intelligence with which Hildeberto plays for Benfica makes him distinguishable. Indeed, the youngster has the mental consciousness to begin adapting his style in readiness for the professional game, adopting the revered methods taught by Renato Paiva globally and individually by Nelson Motta.

He has developed his distinctive style of play beyond pragmatic dribbling where whenever he finds space he fires a low, powerful, accurate shot in the corner and despite his pattern moves he also has ability in the air and can deliver spectacular volleys. He often converges from his comfortable winger position to a central attacking role. In this role he sets up attacking plays and assists the forwards.

His pace exposes the opposition’s defensive line especially in situations of counterattack, but by being resourceful he is the typical player that goes back and forth playing at a higher level not just in an offensive perspective but as well on his defensive duties. Hildeberto is a contemporary hot prospect in essence, combative, vigorous, and consistent. Furthermore, he adds technique, audacity, vision of play and positional sense on and off-the-ball for a player of his high-standards. Notoriously playing for Benfica, Hildeberto has also played for the National Team of Portugal.
