Portuguese journalist Sofia Oliveira was surprised by the decision of the head coach of “Benfica” Jose Mourinho to replace the Ukrainian midfielder George Sudakov in the match of the 16th round of the Portuguese championship with “Braga” (2:2).
“There was a detail that was very important for the course of the game – it was the replacement of Sudakov, who was really the best player of Benfica.” He played excellently and left the field quite unexpectedly, as Ivanovic came out as a left winger – in a position where he has nothing to give the team.
Mourinho didn’t help Benfica at all when they were playing better than Braga, ultimately taking away the energy with which his men operated. Sudakov is too good a player for the style Mourinho wants to play,” Oliveira said on CNN Portugal.
Earlier, journalist A Bola criticized Mourinho because of Sudakov.
