Lage defended the center of 100 million from criticism

Criticism, digital survey … In football, memory will be expired soon in all leagues and Portugal is no exception. Antonio Silva He is one of the most marked players after Benfica-Barça On Wednesday, a first leg of the 16th of the Champions League decided a goal from Raphinha In favor of an FC Barcelona playing from th -22 minutes in number of weaknesses due to the expulsion of Pau cubarsí. Silva, a 21-year-old central, is one of the criticized benfiquists in giving a bad pass that led to 0-1. Your coach, Bruno lageThis is a very frustrating Friday in its footballer’s defense. “There is a place where nothing has failed, the couch,” heronized before confirming that the 1.87 defender will play against the National this Saturday (19 hours).

Antonio Silva He is one of the best players in the market in the current benfica. The Lisbon Club, a historic expert in doing a great business in its talents, has not stopped listening to last year that Silva is on the agenda of European clubs with greater economic potential, including Real MadridAnd last December there was a conversation about JUVENTUSPoll that motivates Lage to say that anyone wants to get a player by Da Luz “with her purse full.” As for Silva’s price, he did not speak much of 100 million euros. Although only his star did not shine in that brightness, Silva played 27 -Game Tota this season, contributing to a goal and help.

The recipe that Lage gave to Silva to abstract from that cultivation broth was “Keep calm and continue playing.” The coach expanded the sofa joke when he remembered that “every time he talked to my dad, he gained 3 goals in each game, so at the end of the season he had 90 … The sofa was the only place where he was calm.” In his argument, Lage emphasized that defenses are always the worst standing in critical eyes. “We punish the defense more because the mistakes are more visible,” he said.

Thus to trust his players, Lage warned that Silva would be a starter against Nacional. “I said that Antonio would be a starter. It was about assessing our players. We always look at the little detail of the mistake and never in what we do well. As coaches we should look at both and understand that we have players, we have young people who need to grow, change and respond all the time.” Concreting with Antonio Silva, with a contract forcing until 2027, “he was a young man who showed his value.” And, to protect its central, he explicitly compared it to the front, Pau cubarsíThat out of 18 has gained an expulsion that, perhaps with more experience, will be avoided. “On the other hand, there is a young man who has made a foul and driven. We have to look at the player, the person and appreciate what we have. As a coach I have a lot of faith in my players and I want to get the best of each other at a moment,” he said.

Antonio Silva’s reinforcement message has to penetrate Benfiquista fans because, for example in the digital survey that launched the ball if it should continue to be a start -up this weekend before the national, 68.7% selected for “yes” against 31.3% that will give him a bench cure.
