Sudakov grateful as ex-Sporting man hails Benfica star: He’s a top player | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov was one of the names that sparked the most interest in the European summer market. After the dust settled, the Ukrainian was revealed as the new addition to Benfica, where he has already captivated the fans with his talent on the field. However, in his home country, there is a familiar face in national football who was certain about the impact of the Eagles' number 10.

Connected to Sporting's youth system, the forward who plays for Polissya, for two seasons now, has already faced the new signing of the Reds: "He is a young player, but already with great maturity on the field. He has good vision of the game and is very creative in the final third".

In an interview with the newspaper A Bola, the young striker, who also represented Estoril Praia, added that the new number 10 of the Club of Light shows many qualities in his decision-making in offensive dynamics: "He has a lot of technical quality and in the final pass, so he can solve situations that seem complicated".

At a time when the Ukrainian made his debut in important matches, like the Clássico, the young Portuguese has no doubts about his quality and technique on the field: "Technically, he is above average, but he is also intelligent in occupying spaces without the ball. As he is very tactically disciplined and has a high collective spirit, he is a player who, when necessary, also collaborates in defensive tasks".

"He also has a goal. Besides set-pieces, he is also strong in mid-range shots. I think at Benfica he can fit into the midfield trio, even as a number 8, but also as a false winger", added the former athlete trained at Sporting, in an interview with the newspaper A Bola.
