José Manuel Capristano raves about Benfica wonderkid: a prodigy | OneFootball

Benfica beat Gil Vicente 3-1 this Sunday at the Estádio da Luz, in a match from the 6th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Despite the difficulties they faced throughout the game, the Eagles managed to prevail thanks to two goals from Vangelis Pavlidis and another from Gianluca Prestianni.

The Argentine once again stood out, and his performance did not go unnoticed among Benfica’s fans. José Manuel Capristano, a former Benfica director, was full of praise for the young winger, whom he described as a true prodigy: “It was not an easy game. Teams that come to the Luz sit deep, and getting past them becomes difficult. Prestianni is a prodigy, and the supporters kept pushing the players on. An unquestionable victory,” he told the newspaper 'Record'.

Marco Silva also did not hold back in his praise for the Argentine international. The coach believes that Prestianni is currently in extraordinary form and highlights his ability to play in different areas of the attack.

“Prestianni is in extraordinary form. Then we can analyze where he is performing best, and it is easy for you to say after that great goal, but he is at a moment where he can help us through the middle, he can help us on the left, he can help us on the right flank,” explained the Benfica coach.

The coach also highlighted the enormous physical and mental commitment shown by the player, despite the accumulated fatigue: “He was super fatigued. He only played 60 minutes last Wednesday, but he gave everything, fought until the end. And he has been brilliant,” added Marco Silva.
