After Moreirense v Benfica, Vangelis Pavlidis recalls Roger Schmidt… | OneFootball

The Benfica traveled to Moreirense's ground and secured an impressive victory, winning 4-0. Vangelis Pavlidis was the standout player of the match, scoring three decisive goals. At the end of the game, the Greek forward expressed his satisfaction with the result and took the opportunity to make an interesting connection with the recent past, recalling Roger Schmidt.

The number 14 highlighted the importance of the team's victory in a traditionally difficult away match for the Reds, praising the opponent: “When the team wins and we score, it's always good, it's good to help the team and get the three points. Moreirense is a very good team that plays good football.”

The memory of the draw in the previous season, under the technical command of the German Roger Schmidt, was brought up during the analysis to the journalists: “It's true that last season we had big problems here, but we were smart in our play, created many opportunities, and scored in the first half, then with the frontal pressure we could score more goals.”

The team's focus remains on constant evolution to aim for the national title, rejecting excessive euphoria: “We won important games, but it's not enough, we want to improve every week and play better, but winning 4-0 is a good night for us and we want to continue.”

This season, the striker - valued at 35 million euros - boasts impressive numbers with the Eagles' jersey. Pavlidis has played 28 official matches and clocked 2,198 minutes on the field. His individual record includes 19 precise shots and two assists for goals, confirming his status as an offensive reference in the tactical scheme led by José Mourinho.
