Benfica’s creative midfielder, David Neres, has been in excellent form lately, but he has been limited to a substitute role in recent matches. [expander_maker id=”1″ ]This was evident in the team’s match against Rio Ave, where Neres was brought in as a second-half substitute and played a vital role in altering Benfica’s fortunes, although he was unable to score a goal.
At the end of the match, Neres seemed disappointed with his performance, as he left the pitch without thanking the fans along with his teammates. Luisão, the technical and performance director of the team, tried to convince Neres to return and show his appreciation, but the Brazilian refused.
Neres’ disappointment is understandable, as he has been playing well and could have started in the previous games. He is one of Benfica’s most creative players and has demonstrated his ability to make a difference on the field.
Benfica’s coach, Jorge Jesus, has been criticized in the past for his reluctance to make substitutions, and Neres’ frustration could be a result of this. However, Jesus’s decision to bring Neres in as a substitute has paid off in recent matches, with the Brazilian making a significant impact on the field.
Benfica is still in contention for the Primeira Liga title, along with Porto and Sporting, and Neres’ frustration could have an impact on the team’s performances in the upcoming games. As one of the team’s most talented players, his contribution will be essential in helping Benfica achieve their objectives.[/expander_maker]
