Pavlidis in hot water, FPF confirm action against Benfica striker | OneFootball

It’s official: the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation has recently opened three disciplinary proceedings following incidents that occurred in the last round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. One of the cases targets Vangelis Pavlidis, forward for Benfica,

According to information obtained by the newspaper Record, the body responsible for disciplinary matters in football, in its view, decided to launch investigations into the number 14 of the Eagles, due to a complaint made by Porto, for an alleged assault on Gabri Veiga during the Clássico.

However, in disciplinary proceeding no. 18, where they are the complainants against the Greek player, the Dragons are also targeted in the remaining cases. Starting with disciplinary proceeding no. 16, the Dragons are the subject of a complaint filed by the Portuguese Football Referees Association, due to criticism of refereeing.

But it doesn’t stop there. In case no. 17, which even drags Sporting into the mix, the Disciplinary Council opened a case against André Villas-Boas, president of Porto, due to derogatory statements that led to a disciplinary complaint from the Alvalade club.

Vangelis Pavlidis is currently one of the most important players for the Eagles. In the current sports season, the forward – valued at 35 million euros – has so far played 15 official matches. In the 1,221 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the number 14 has recorded seven goals and one assist.
