Benfica and Sporting champion warns of Dedic’s weakness: struggles | OneFootball

Luís Filipe, former player of Benfica and Sporting, gives high praise to Amar Dedic - who has quite positive numbers - but warns of potential defensive weaknesses of the full-back. The athlete, who was a champion with both the Eagles and the Lions, highlights the ability of the 23-year-old to assert himself in a club as significant as the Reds.

“He is a very vertical player with a strong offensive inclination. Not being very exposed defensively, he found conditions to express himself more offensively. Defensively, there might be areas where he will face more difficulties, but he is clearly very offensive and creates many imbalances, which nowadays is an asset for a club of Benfica's stature,” says Luís Filipe, praising Dedic.

The former footballer highlights the offensive qualities of Benfica's new signing: “He is a player with the characteristic of cutting inside, as well as being very vertical. But he knows how to drive inside and create that imbalance, moving away from the line, which usually limits the full-back, as he can only go one way.”

“The fact that Dedic cuts inside gives him more options, he is strong in ball control towards interior areas. But he also knows how to be vertical, with more depth and space occupation,” argues Luís Filipe, highlighting the versatility of the athlete who joined Benfica in this transfer window.

“We know how the fans are and the demands that exist in a club like Benfica. For many, he was an unknown, and to arrive and present himself so positively is half the battle to establish himself and have a very good career in service of Benfica,” concludes Luís Filipe.
