Attention, Benfica! Pavlidis makes headlines off the pitch | OneFootball

Vangelis Pavlidis - who is not going through a good spell - remains attentive to everything involving AZ Alkmaar, the club he represented before moving to Benfica. The Greek forward maintains a strong connection to the Dutch side, and a recent episode once again showed that closeness.

Born in Thessaloniki, Pavlidis saw the local Football Academy organize an event attended by AZ. The initiative included a presentation on the structure and philosophy of the Dutch club. The content covered modern training and player development practices.

The Benfica player reacted quickly to the post made on social media. Pavlidis liked it and shared the content on his personal account. The gesture symbolized his connection to both "homes".

Despite never having played for PAOK, the city's historic club, the Greek striker maintains strong roots in Thessaloniki. At the same time, he proudly remembers the three seasons he spent at AZ Alkmaar. The forward thus remains connected to his past.

This season, in Benfica service, Vangelis Pavlidis - valued at 32 million euros - has already made a total of 47 official appearances: 27 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,870 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Greek has recorded 29 goals and five assists.
