Marco Silva: «Maybe they're waiting for me to take out Prestianni, who has been playing badly, to put Kaminski in...»

Marco Silva, Benfica's coach, publicly commented on the limited use of the Polish player Kaminski at the club. His statements come in response to criticism about squad management and the technical choices that have been made during the season.

In his comment, Marco Silva referred directly to Prestianni, indicating that he has been playing badly and that perhaps people are waiting for him to drop the Argentine from the starting eleven to put Kaminski in his place.

The Benfica coach appeared to respond to external pressure to change the starting lineup, defending his technical decisions and the use he has been making of the players at his disposal.

The situation highlights the competition in Benfica's attack, with Marco Silva managing the expectations of several players who are seeking more playing time.
