Marco Silva's Benfica has shown strong attacking prowess at the start of the season, having scored 18 goals in five rounds of Liga Portugal, including a 4-0 victory over Moreirense, resulting in an average of 3.6 goals per match.
However, commentator Rui Calafate criticized the team's defensive sector, considering it the main weak point. In statements to Record newspaper, Calafate stated that Samuel Soares, who occupies the starting goalkeeper position, "has a lot to improve".
Regarding Anatoliy Trubin, who lost his starting spot with the arrival of Marco Silva, Rui Calafate was even more incisive, considering the goalkeeper "a card out of the deck". The commentator also noted that there are doubts in the full-back positions, mentioning the departure of Amar Dedić, which left a defensive void on the right side, and Alexander Bah's recurring injuries.
