Conceicao and Veiga are Portugal U21 teammates and the former said at Tuesday's Champions League media conference: “When I heard he could move to Juventus, I immediately called him to say he would join a big club that would help him develop.
“I tried to convince him. I know his quality, and I think he can help us.”
On facing Benfica on Wednesday night, he added: “We’ll meet a team that has quality. They like to keep the ball, but we want to focus on what we can do.
“We know Benfica’s strength, but we want to give a reply and show who we are.”
