Ahead of Benfica v Fenerbahçe, Dedic stands out: “A guarantee of…” | OneFootball

Contracted in the current summer market, Amar Dedic has been one of the reference figures in the current season start of Benfica. Owner and master of the right side of the encarnada defense, the Bosnian has been the target of many praises, as was the case with Carlos Leal, who highlighted the athlete before the match against Fenerbahçe.

In an interview with the newspaper O Jogo - where he had already spoken about Amoura - Carlos Leal began by talking about the athlete's intensity: “It's a hallmark of his, which he gained at Red Bull, it's the hallmark of the group. It's a guarantee of intensity, courage, and willingness to go up [against the opponent], without hesitation. It's a style he learned since he arrived at RB Salzburg”.

A member of the Austrian emblem since he was 14, Dedic was taught from an early age to have a more direct approach to the game, as the Portuguese manager explained to the sports daily: “He's not a player, as he learned at RB Salzburg, to go around in circles, they don't like that, it's very high intensity”.

However, it didn't stop there, and he assumed that with Dedic, Benfica will always count on an athlete who will give everything on the field: “With him, it's always about giving, looking for depth, even without the ball. A lateral like him, capable of unbalancing a game, whether by going to the line or to interior zones, is very important, sometimes on the wings is where there is more space, the field is getting tighter and tighter”.

“He seeks to make every movement, every action, have an impact and make the opponent move, even if it's just to open spaces for his teammates, the goal is to force the opponent to make a decision and then exploit it”, Carlos Leal added, in conversation with O Jogo.
