A well-known Portuguese journalist Bruno Francisku presented his vision of the ideal lineup for Lisbon's Benfica, unexpectedly including Ukrainian players Anatoliy Trubin and Georgiy Sudakov.
A New Perspective on the Team Composition
In the context of the team's poor results – two defeats in the last two matches and elimination from two cup tournaments – the journalist proposed an alternative tactical approach.
Team Lineup According to Bruno Francisku
- Goalkeeper: Anatoliy Trubin
- Defenders: Dedic, Tomash, Antonio, Dal/Neto
- Midfielders: Enzo, Sudakov, Aursnes
- Forwards: Sheldrup, Pavlidis, Lukebakio/Prestiani
"Would this be ideal? No. But it would change the paradigm from a team that runs a lot to a team that wants to possess the ball and create," the journalist emphasized.
Current Team Standing
Currently, Benfica occupies the third position in the Portuguese championship standings, having 39 points in their asset.
