Ivica Medo analyses Pavlidis’ form, offers Benfica a tip | OneFootball

Ivica Medo believes that Franjo Ivanovic and Vangelis Pavlidis can coexist at the same time. In an interview with local media, the Croatian journalist offered advice to Benfica, emphasizing that his compatriot can indeed play behind the Greek international.

"I believe that Ivanovic can play without any problem with Pavlidis, behind him, because he knows how to pass, knows how to score, and is very creative", Ivica Medo began by pointing out, addressing the presence of the forward in the Benfica team, in statements to Gol.hr.

"He demonstrated this in those 30 minutes against Porto. I watched the game and, when he came on, he changed the team's rhythm, brought more aggressiveness, more fight, and better space occupation", added the Croatian journalist, who had already commented that his compatriot was frustrated with the lack of playing time.

"He is very strong technically, has game vision, and excellent work habits. He combines Croatian creativity and technique with German discipline, firmness, and objectivity", highlighted Ivica Medo, regarding the work that Benfica's number 9 has been doing.

"He grew up in Austria and Germany, has that mentality: runs a lot, is aggressive when needed, but also has the typical imagination of Croatian players. He is a player with great technical quality", concluded the Croatian journalist, in statements to Gol.hr.
