Luís Pedro Sousa loses patience with Benfica player: another poor game | OneFootball

Benfica secured an important win against Aarhus in Denmark, with Gianluca Prestianni stepping up as the standout player of the match. The Argentine winger scored twice and once again showed his development. The performance did not go unnoticed by Luís Pedro Sousa, who highlighted the young forward’s progress, despite criticizing Georgiy Sudakov’s display.

“Benfica knew how to wait for Prestianni to grow. Now approaching three years with the eagle on his chest, the young Argentine, who had already started to catch the eye at the end of last season, is now confirming all of his potential,” wrote Luís Pedro Sousa in the newspaper Record.

The pundit also recalled the positive signs shown by the Argentine during pre-season, despite his limited use due to a suspension, and stressed the impact he has had at the start of the 2026/27 campaign. Prestianni has established himself as one of Marco Silva’s undisputed starters and has been making the most of the opportunities given to him by the coach.

While Prestianni received praise, Sudakov once again came in for criticism. The Ukrainian international delivered another performance below expectations in Denmark, despite the many chances Marco Silva has given him since the start of the season.

“Prestianni, whether through merit or because of the team’s needs, cannot complain about a lack of opportunities. But the truth is that he ended up taking them. We will now see whether there is the same patience with Sudakov, who yesterday in Denmark added another poor game in Benfica’s shirt,” the journalist concluded.
