Former Porto boss on Sudakov joining Benfica: He’s made the right choice | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov has already said his goodbyes to Shakhtar Donetsk and is about to arrive at Benfica. The attacking midfielder is expected to undergo medical exams later today, with his official signing set to be announced soon. Luís Castro, current coach of Al Wasl, was the man who launched Sudakov at Shakhtar Donetsk in 2020. Highlighting his vision of the game, the Portuguese coach believes that the Eagles have made a good signing.

"He played more in the number 10 position. He had excellent vision, with a good pass and good ball control. He has great intensity," the coach began by saying in statements to the newspaper Record.

Next, Luís Castro recalled the Champions League victory against Real Madrid on October 21, 2020, the match in which he gave Sudakov his debut: "He came on at a difficult moment in the game. But it was 3-2 and Real Madrid could still have equalized. Only a player I trust enters the field."

He was mentally very strong. Benfica made a good choice."
