Leonor Pinhão recalls harsh attacks on Benfica player: declared useless | OneFootball

Benfica’s 2-0 victory over Milan was marked by the many changes made by Marco Silva to the starting eleven. The coach fielded nine different players at San Siro, in a move that allowed players with fewer minutes to show what they can do. For Leonor Pinhão, the match against the rossoneri ended up being marked by some ‘resurrections,’ with special emphasis on Jakub Kaminski.

The journalist drew attention to the performances of three Benfica players, including Daniel Banjaqui and the Polish international, recalling the criticism the latter received after his first minutes in a Benfica shirt.

“Still in the realm of the incredible, bordering on the true essence of the word, there is no way not to describe as incredible the resurrections—another abuse of meaning…—of three Benfica representatives in the Matchday 1 game of the Europa League league phase. Daniel Banjaqui, who had looked so uninspired three days earlier in the match against Gil Vicente. Jakub Kaminski, who was declared useless the very first second he touched the ball wearing theBenfica shirt,” she wrote in the newspaper 'Record'.

Leonor Pinhão once again highlighted the performance of both, especially stressing their ability to respond after a less successful display against Gil Vicente. In the case of Kaminski, the response was even more emphatic, as the Pole had direct involvement in Benfica’s two goals, assisting the first and scoring the second.

the first Benfica goal would come from him, and he himself scored Benfica’s beautiful second goal.”
