Head coach of “Benfica” Jose Mourinho explained why Georgy Sudakov played as a left winger in the Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen (0:1).
“Sudakov did not find space in the central zone in the match against Vitoria, he constantly went to the left, although we did not ask him to do so, so against Bayer Leverkusen he starts in this position.
We noticed that when he is in the center, he cannot find a solution and often goes to the wing. So for this game, I decided to give him more freedom on the left, where he can interact more effectively with the team and play to his strengths. The main thing is that he remains involved in the game and can create moments for the team,” said the coach.
