Tony Popovic urges more Benfica minutes for Alessandro Circati after Brazil display | OneFootball

Australia coach Tony Popovic has urged Benfica to give Alessandro Circati more minutes after the defender impressed against Brazil, scoring acrobatically and setting up a second goal in an international.

The Benfica newcomer produced a standout contribution with a spectacular finish and a precise assist. According to Glorioso 1904, Popovic delivered a very positive assessment in his post-match press conference.

During his Benfica unveiling, Circati described himself as versatile and attack-minded, and he underlined those traits by being directly involved in both goals.

Popovic noted the defender was fatigued in the second half, adding that the next step is continued physical development and, with luck, if he gets more minutes at Benfica, his second-half levels could match his first.

The display against Brazil has reinforced the young centre-back’s potential at Benfica, and supporters await his involvement in the first team’s upcoming official matches.
