Pavlidis caught swearing at Benfica team-mate: my Portuguese is improving | OneFootball

Benfica’s 2-0 win over Milan at San Siro is still being talked about, and even a moment involving Vangelis Pavlidis and Gianluca Prestianni in stoppage time ended up drawing attention on social media after the Greek player’s post.

Shortly before the final whistle, the Greek striker repeatedly asked the Argentine for the ball, but he chose to go on an individual run instead of looking for his teammate. Pavlidis’ reaction was immediate and was marked by a swear word. It was an incident that the Benfica scorer has now decided to joke about.

“Three points at San Siro and now all eyes on Sunday. PS: my Portuguese is improving fast. Sorry, Gianluca,” Pavlidis wrote on Instagram, in a clear reference to the incident that took place during the European match.

More than just the joke, the Greek striker is currently going through an extraordinary spell. After coming in for criticism in the early stages, Pavlidis has become one of the main figures in Marco Silva’s team. He now has 14 goals in 13 matches across Liga Portugal and the Europa League.

On the other side is Prestianni, who is also enjoying a spell of huge prominence and has been tipped as one of the players in the best form at the start of the season. Marco Silva did not hold back in his praise for the Argentine international: “Prestianni is in extraordinary form. He can help us centrally, on the left, or on the right flank. The numbers and the start of the season show us that it is on the left,” the coach explained.
