Poles criticise Marco Silva and say Benfica boss doesn't like Kaminski | OneFootball

Jakub Kaminski’s limited use at Benfica is beginning to cause concern in Poland, mainly because of the winger’s importance to the national team. Signed in the summer for €17 million, the player has still not managed to secure a prominent place among Marco Silva’s options.

The player’s current situation is even raising doubts about whether the move to the Luz was the ideal choice for his qualities. Speaking to SportsFact, Polish coach Bartosz Kubica believes that Kaminski may be struggling to adapt to the demands of the football played byBenfica.

"At the moment, Kuba is only fifth in the pecking order. Perhaps Kaminski’s inner circle and the player himself misread Benfica’s style of play. Kuba is a different type of player. He is good at attacking space, useful in a team that plays on the counterattack. Benfica, meanwhile, need players with a high technical level, capable of winning duels and getting past two or three opponents," he began by explaining.

The Polish coach believes there is a mismatch between Kaminski’s characteristics and what Marco Silva looks for in his wingers. Bartosz Kubica also believes that the Benfica coach has not yet placed full confidence in the Poland international.

"You can see that he is not a player the new coach particularly likes. Of course, he speaks about Kuba diplomatically, stresses that the player has to work and does not rule anyone out. And that is true. Perhaps at some point Kaminski will get an opportunity, score one or two goals, provide a few assists and his luck will change. Unfortunately, the start has been mediocre. Even in the two games against St. Gallen, when he was in the starting lineup, he was poor," he added.
