After debut, Sudakov’s agent admits: “Benfica are…” | OneFootball

Last Friday, September 12, after several weeks of anticipation, Georgiy Sudakov finally had the opportunity to make his debut wearing the Benfica jersey. After the Ukrainian international reacted to the event, his agent made a point of addressing his move to the Glorioso.

In an exclusive interview with the newspaper A Bola, published in this Sunday’s edition, September 14, the Ukrainian’s agent spoke about several topics related to the transfer. However, he first emphasized that Sudakov made the right move: “Benfica is a strong and correct choice for his development. The club consistently plays in the Champions League and Europa League, ensuring a high competitive level and regular participation in European competitions. Heorhii has just turned 23, an excellent age to gain experience in European tournaments.”

Next, the agent of the number 10 highlighted what caught his attention most in the Eagles’ project: “Several key factors. Above all, the club’s systematic approach to player development. Benfica knows how to combine European ambitions with the smart integration of young players. It was important not only to join a strong club, but also to have regular playing time and the opportunity to perform at a high international level.”

During the negotiation period, Trubin ended up playing his role as an ‘agent’, a topic also addressed by Shablii in his interview with A Bola: “Anatoliy [Trubin] and Heorhii have known each other since their youth. We are happy that Heorhii is not alone at the new club and, of course, his compatriot will help him adapt, not just to the club.”

Finally, he spoke about the number 10 jersey and what it means to Georgiy Sudakov: “Yes, for Heorhii [Sudakov] it is a great honor and responsibility to wear the number 10 shirt, which belonged to the legendary Rui Costa.”
