Exclusive Glorioso 1904 - A Benfica regular disappoints Marco Silva | OneFootball

Samuel Dahl has not convinced Marco Silva with his performances, according to our newspaper. In this Exclusivo Glorioso 1904, we reveal that the Swedish full-back has fallen short of the coach’s expectations and could even lose his place.

. The Special One himself even praised the Swedish defender for the progress he has made since arriving at the Luz.

Under Marco Silva, the 23-year-old has kept his place in the starting XI. However, Dahl has not impressed the former Fulham manager. His vulnerability when dealing with balls in behind and his limited attacking influence are the reasons behind the Eagles coach’s dissatisfaction.

If this level of performance continues, Dahl could lose his spot to José Neto. The 18-year-old Portuguese youngster has impressed the coaching staff. Marco Silva likes the qualities of the under-17 world champion, and Neto could get more minutes in the near future.

This season, for Benfica, Samuel Dahl — valued at €13 million — has made 53 official appearances: 33 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 13 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 4,597 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the Swede has scored two goals and provided two assists.
