"Sudakov is a fish out of water": Pedro Sousa questions reinforcement's adaptation to Marco Silva

Now28 August 2026 at 13:45

Pedro Sousa commented on Sudakov's situation at Fulham, questioning his adaptation to the system implemented by Marco Silva. The commentator considered that the player may be "out of his depth" in the context of the English team, suggesting difficulties in integrating into the Portuguese coach's playing style.

The former tennis player also looked at the demands of the sporting calendar, noting that the team could play around 60 games throughout the season. This high competitive load was presented as a factor that directly influences squad management.

Pedro Sousa argued that the idea of a fixed starting eleven no longer makes sense in modern football. According to the commentator, the need for squad rotation has become essential to maintain performance throughout the entire season and face the intensity of the competitions.
