Glorioso 1904 exclusive - A Benfica regular is disappointing Marco Silva | OneFootball

Samuel Dahl has not been convincing Marco Silva with his performances, according to our newspaper. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, we reveal that the Swedish full-back has fallen short of the manager’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 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 characteristics of the Under-17 world champion, and Neto could get more minutes in the coming weeks.

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 been on the pitch, the Swede has scored two goals and provided two assists.
