Sérgio Krithinas, executive director of Record newspaper, commented on Benfica's signing of Palhinha during this season. The comment comes following a statement made about the midfielder player.
Krithinas acknowledges that Palhinha is not the perfect player, but argues that at Benfica under Marco Silva, the player will always have a guaranteed place in the starting eleven. The opinion of the sports executive was expressed publicly through Record newspaper's platforms.
Benfica's signing of Palhinha was one of the transfer market movements of the season in question. Marco Silva, as the team coach, appears to have identified in the player the necessary characteristics for his playing system.
Krithinas' comment arises in the context of the debate about the player's qualities and limitations, but with the certainty that he will have regular opportunities to play under Marco Silva at Benfica.
