Marco Silva urges Lukebakio to raise intensity at Benfica after Milan display | OneFootball

Marco Silva wants more from Dodi Lukebakio at Benfica. According to Glorioso 1904, the head coach has urged the Belgian international to show greater commitment and intensity during matches.

The message has begun to register, with Lukebakio responding against Milan. Collecting the ball on the right, he drove inside, sped past Bartesaghi and, from outside the area, fired beyond Maignan.

The move underlined what the winger can offer Benfica, yet Silva wants that level sustained. Consistency in intensity and commitment remains his demand.

After the final whistle, Lukebakio highlighted the depth of the squad. He said big clubs have big squads, that everyone can play, that selection reflects quality and that with good on-field communication things go well. He added the group are in sync and must keep it that way.

His message aligns with Silva’s expectations of a squad ready to answer when called. In Lukebakio’s case, the coach still wants more intensity and commitment, and the Milan display suggested a positive response.
