Georgiy Sudakov shows frustration with his situation at Benfica | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov was not at all pleased to be substituted in the 69th minute for Andreas Schjelderup during the Benfica – Leverkusen match. Upon leaving the field, the Ukrainian international did not hide his displeasure, especially since the same had already happened in Guimarães.

Minutes before the ball started rolling in the Benfica – Leverkusen Champions League match, José Mourinho had some less positive words about Georgiy Sudakov: “He hasn't been able to find space in the middle, he's been drifting too much to the left without being asked, so now he starts in that position.”

In recent weeks, Georgiy Sudakov - who rented a house from... Ruben Amorim - has been going through a difficult time. After a promising start with Benfica, where he scored two goals and made an assist in the first four matches, the Ukrainian international hasn't scored since September 23rd, during the home game against Rio Ave.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Georgiy Sudakov – valued at 32 million euros – has played 13 matches: seven in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the League Cup. In the 960 minutes he played, the Ukrainian scored two goals and made two assists.

After the fourth defeat in four games in this edition of the Champions League, Benfica now turns its attention back to the Liga Portugal Betclic. Next Sunday, at 8:30 PM, José Mourinho's team will host Casa Pia at Estádio da Luz. The match is part of the 11th round of the National Championship.
