Marco Silva, Benfica's coach, is strongly betting on young Banjaqui, a product of the club's academy. This bet comes at a time when the right-back has been used in important matches of the first team.
The right-back position has recently been occupied by Kaminski and Circati, but the coach seems to want to give more opportunities to the academy player. Banjaqui has been integrated into the training sessions and plans of the first team.
This confidence shown by Marco Silva in Banjaqui reflects the club's tendency to value players coming from its academy. The young player has impressed in training and earned the coach's trust to join the pool of options for right-back.
