Incredible! Benfica have a natural goalscorer on fire and it’s not Pavlidis | OneFootball

Anísio Cabral has been a breath of fresh air in Benfica's attack. According to reports, the 18-year-old - who recently renewed with the Eagles - has had an impressive impact on the main squad, leaving everyone in awe of his talent.

Despite his impact in Benfica's games, the use of the number 72 jersey has been strategic in the Eagles' main squad, yet his numbers are still impressive. So far, the U-17 World Champion has scored two goals in 28 minutes.

Thus, doing the math, Anísio Cabral averages one goal every 14 minutes, corresponding to the 28 minutes he has been on the field in the main squad. However, after the winning goal against Alverca, the player was not an option against Real Madrid, Gil Vicente, and Porto, with the newspaper A Bola pointing to a tactical issue.

As the same source reports, Anísio Cabral's playing style is more positional, inside the area, with a remarkable ability to play with his back to the goal. However, these characteristics would not be ideal for the most recent matches, which explains his absence, but this does not invalidate his immediate impact when he is brought onto the field.

This season, while playing for Benfica, Anísio Cabral - valued at 5 million euros - has already played four official matches in the main squad, all counting for the Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 28 minutes he was on the pitch, the Portuguese player scored two goals.
