On Liga NOW, Gonçalo Monteiro analyzed Benfica's team and highlighted Sudakov's importance in the team's tactical scheme. The commentator pointed out that Sudakov's defensive transition ability and aggressiveness help avoid imbalances in the team, which constitutes a crucial element for defensive balance.
Thanks to the stability provided by Sudakov, other players such as Leandro Barreiro and Pavlidis manage to maintain significant attacking productivity, continuing to score regularly in matches.
Monteiro's comment appears to be directed at coach Marco, suggesting that he must recognize the added value that Sudakov brings to the team, especially in his specific position on the field, where the player demonstrates qualities that sustain the collective functioning of the red and white formation.
