Sudakov ugly duckling? Marco Silva responds

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo8 September 2026 at 21:23

Vítor Pinto used the expression "Sudakov ugly duckling" to describe Echeverri, creating a label that ended up reaching Marco Silva, Benfica's coach.

Marco Silva reacted to this designation during the preview of Benfica's game against Moreirense, responding directly to what was said by Vítor Pinto.

The reference to Sudakov suggests a comparison with another player, possibly associating Echeverri in some way with the player who gave rise to the term.

The episode is part of the context of the preparation of the red-and-white team for the trip to Moreira de Cónegos, where Benfica seeks to continue their journey in the competition.
