Benfica legend tears into Pavlidis: plenty of flaws | OneFootball

Diamantino Miranda argues that Vangelis Pavlidis does not have enough quality to be Benfica's forward. In statements on CMTV after the defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, the legend of the Clube da Luz considered that the Greek international needs many chances to find the back of the net.

“There is really a huge imbalance in various positions of Benfica's squad. I would start with a player [Pavlidis], whom we all like for his commitment to the game, but, I mean, a striker is there to score goals,” Diamantino Miranda begins to argue, after the defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.

When questioned by Vítor Pinto about whether he is “another anti-Pavlidis,” Diamantino Miranda clarifies his position: “You didn't hear what I said. Completely on Pavlidis' side. He is not a player for the demands of a club like Benfica. Pavlidis should score more. He has several shortcomings.”

As reported in the Glorioso Exclusive on October 13, Rui Costa has already decided that he will only accept to sell Vangelis Pavlidis in the January transfer market for the release clause, that is, 100 million euros. The 26-year-old athlete is on the list of some of the main clubs in European football.
