Luís Pedro Ferreira: Benfica player is done at Luz because of Marco Silva | OneFootball

Bruma is on Benfica’s list of departures by Marco Silva’s decision. At the press conference ahead of the clash with Moreirense, the Benfica coach made it clear that the decisions taken on technical matters are his responsibility. A stance that earned praise from Luís Pedro Ferreira.

“Leadership in sport is measured in moments of storm, but also in times of calm. By stating that Bruma’s exclusion from the squad is a technical decision, and therefore his, Marco Silva shows his leadership profile. In an environment that is often toxic and prone to the blurring of responsibilities, taking ownership of the decision benefits the coach’s personal authority, as well as the club’s stability,” he wrote in the newspaper 'A Bola'.

In Luís Pedro Ferreira’s view, the way Marco Silva handled the Bruma case shows a transparency that ends up being valued inside the dressing room. The commentator also draws a parallel with Sudakov, who continues to get opportunities despite some performances below expectations.

“In short, Marco Silva shows that communicating well is not about pleasing everyone, but about taking responsibility clearly. By taking the Bruma decision upon himself, he projects the image of a mature, determined and unshakable leader. Exactly what a club of the Eagles’ stature demands,” added Luís Pedro Ferreira.
