Leonor Pinhão loses hope in Benfica player: "Takes too long to establish himself"

Glorioso 1904 – Se é notícia do Benfica, está aqui29 August 2026 at 10:00

Leonor Pinhão lost hope in player Georgiy Sudakov, Ukrainian midfielder from Benfica. The criticism of his performances is nothing new among fans and analysts, and after another poorly executed performance against Aarhus, for the Europa League, the commentator analyzed Marco Silva's insistence in continuing to bet on the number 10 of the eagles.

Leonor Pinhão wrote in Record newspaper that Marco Silva's persistence in Sudakov is notable, highlighting that the coach believes in the player from the first day, and even before that. She mentioned that when Marco Silva had not yet arrived at Seixal, by the beginning of June, newspapers were already reporting that, unlike José Mourinho, for whom Sudakov was cut out for the transfer list, the former Fulham coach had conveyed to Rui Costa the great plans he intended for the player.

Despite the confidence shown by the coach, Sudakov's performances have fallen short of expectations. The commentator points out that the player is slow to establish himself at the club, showing pessimism about his future in the team.
