Benfica legend fuming over Amar Dedic’s display against Alverca: Get a grip | OneFootball

Amar Dedic has been in the spotlight - and even received positive words recently -, but the truth is that he ended up being sent off against Alverca. In this regard, Rui Águas argues that the athlete should have been more careful to avoid the second yellow card and the consequent expulsion in the Liga Portugal Betclic game.

"In the second half, the game was under control until Dedic's expulsion, the brilliant author of the second goal. Players must be aware of the danger that a yellow card represents, especially in Portugal, where the whistle is so easy," began Rui Águas, in a text published in the newspaper A Bola.

"Rather than criticizing the profile of our refereeing, which is pointless, we should take care of the control that the yellow-carded is obliged to have in order not to take risks. Benfica experienced the dangerous numerical inferiority twice, in Istanbul and Alverca, periods of greater risk, which it survived with collectivism, but it is advisable to avoid," argues Rui Águas.

"Meanwhile, Sudakov's arrival brings to Benfica what was considered missing, after the departures of Kokçu and Di María, two very different players, but both having a great influence in the creation and realization of offensive moves. Both good shooters and capable of making a difference with the pass, something that needed to be replaced," analyzes Rui Águas.

"Florentino leaves many memories. More than the technical refinement of others, a man made in his Club and with the values of the Club. Sober, balanced, simple and, above all, collective. The pinnacle of reliability and commitment. Florentino's statistical resume does not reflect the contribution of the midfielder now transferred, because it goes beyond the tallying of goals and assists, which are given more emphasis," concludes Rui Águas.
