Career edit
Rodrigues arrived at Benfica at the hands of Janos Biri, making his debut on 6 October 1940, against Carcavelinhos.[1] With Albino, Raúl Baptista and César Ferreira as competitors, he was relegated to back-up, playing only 9 league games, but appearing in all of the Campeonato de Lisboa games.[2][3] In his second season, he remained a fringe player, receiving the majority of his playing time in the regional league, as Benfica won the Primeira Liga.[4] Conceição last season was in 1942–43, playing only two games, enough to receive the championship medal for the back-to-back league title that his team won.[5]
