Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Benfica make call on Heorhiy Sudakov crisis | OneFootball

Benfica maintains full confidence in Heorhiy Sudakov's abilities. According to exclusive information obtained by Glorioso 1904, the club's structure has no doubt about the undeniable value of the star. Despite recent criticisms, the management, led by Rui Costa, believes that the Ukrainian will showcase all his quality.

Life off the pitch complicates Heorhiy Sudakov's affirmation

The number 10 has not yet fully met the high expectations, but there are very strong off-field reasons to explain the decline. The officials know that the personal situation affects Heorhiy Sudakov's sports performance. The athlete lost his father, saw his home destroyed in Ukraine, and is dealing with his wife's pregnancy, in an emotionally exhausting context.

Beyond the human aspect, the midfielder has sacrificed himself for the team. Often, he plays on the wing, far from his natural position behind the striker. This tactical altruism takes away some of his individual shine, but it is highly valued internally by the coaching staff.

Benfica maintains total confidence in the Ukrainian

The significant financial investment made also weighs on the young footballer's shoulders. The deal involved 6.75 million euros for the loan and another 20.25 million in a mandatory purchase clause. However, Benfica fully believes that the signing will justify every cent paid and succeed at the Cathedral in the very near future.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Georgiy Sudakov - valued at 30 million euros - has played 25 matches: 14 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, and two in the League Cup. In the 1,829 minutes he played, the midfielder scored four goals and made six assists.
