Sudakov shares message admitting he's struggling at Benfica | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov posted a message on social media after the end of the match between Benfica and Estrela da Amadora. The Ukrainian international midfielder for Benfica started the match against the Tricolores and ended up being substituted in the 72nd minute.

"Pray until there is no more fear in you", wrote the Ukrainian midfielder on social media. The 23-year-old athlete has not delivered the performances that Benfica fans were expecting, but there are several reasons behind Sudakov's less impressive displays for the Eagles.

The different stage of the season compared to Ukrainian football, the packed schedule, the change in habits, the amount invested by the Club in his signing, the war in Ukraine, and criticism already made by José Mourinho are the reasons for the player's physical and mental fatigue.

However, Benfica maintains complete confidence in Sudakov's abilities. Revealed exclusively by Glorioso, the club's management has no doubt about the athlete's undeniable value. Despite recent criticism, the board, led by Rui Costa, believes that the Ukrainian will show all his quality.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Georgiy Sudakov - valued at 30 million euros - has played 28 matches: 16 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, and two in the League Cup. In the 2,060 minutes he has played, the midfielder has scored four goals and provided five assists.
