José Nunes mesmerised by Benfica gem: absolutely vital player | OneFootball

Gianluca Prestianni has been one of Benfica’s standout figures at the start of the season. The Argentine winger is going through a period of enormous confidence, which is making the Club want to renew his contract, and his performances for the Eagles are already earning glowing praise, including from figures linked to the media.

José Nunes, on the program Liga NOW, did not hold back in his praise for the player and even placed him among the athletes in the best form in Portuguese football: "He may be the player in the best form in the Portuguese Championship. Porto also have Diogo Costa, who shines in every game. But, without a doubt, he is a player who is in superb form. His development has been impressive, and he was almost written off from football," he said.

The journalist believes that Prestianni’s transformation has been remarkable and that, at this stage, the Argentine has become a key piece for Marco Silva. "The fact is that, at this moment, Prestianni is a fundamental player for Benfica," he stressed.

José Nunes also analyzed the way the Argentine has been occupying spaces in Benfica’s attack. Often playing behind Vangelis Pavlidis, Prestianni has the freedom to look for central areas and switch positions with Andreas Schjelderup.
