Georgiy Sudakov racing against time with Ajax and Benfica on his mind | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov looks forward with some anticipation to a possible return with Ajax. As is known, the number 10 of Benfica was left out of the match against Atlético, by José Mourinho's choice. Apparently recovered from the muscle overload, the Ukrainian athlete was present at yesterday's training and hopes for a place in the starting lineup for the visit to Amsterdam.

According to the newspaper Record, in this Sunday's edition, November 23, the summer signing wants to contribute to the team again and is therefore looking to regain the status he quickly achieved under José Mourinho's guidance.

However, Georgiy Sudakov's return to the starting lineup raises some doubts, mainly due to the tactical system that José Mourinho might present in Amsterdam. It should be noted that the Portuguese coach fielded a team against Atlético with three central defenders, which required certain changes in the more advanced sectors of the field.

The abrupt change in the tactical system is also related to the fact that José Mourinho is without the contribution of Dodi Lukebakio, who was recently operated on for a fracture he suffered in his left ankle. Given the scarcity of wingers in the squad, the Special One did not want to reveal whether he will maintain the same tactic.

Thus, Sudakov continues to work to earn his return to the starting lineup, something that could happen against Ajax, next Tuesday, November 25. On the other hand, the national press also revealed that José Mourinho confronted the players about their attitudes on the pitch at the Estádio do Restelo.
