The ball – Flachodemus backs down and goes to fight (Benfica)

It’s not that Flachodemos put aside the idea of ​​continuing his career with another motto – after arguing with Roger Schmidt, who left him out of the squad for the final day’s game, with Estrella da Amadora – but the Greek international goalkeeper thought better, reconsidered his stance, and given For lack of good solutions one week before the closing of the market window, he is determined to stay in Benfica and fight for the title with Samuel Soares (who was in the XI with E). Amadora) and mainly with Trobin, the 22-year-old Ukrainian signed this month from Shakhtar who, based on the investment made by SAD (€10m, plus €1m in bonuses), will only be a matter of time before he grabs a goal. reds.

And Odysseas Vlachodemus recalled that he did not like to hear Schmidt say, in a press conference, that he had performed poorly in the defeat against Boavista (2-3), in the first round of the tournament, and confronted the coach with these statements and did not even remain on the bench for the match with E. Amadora in Luz last Saturday.

However, after appearing on Tuesday, after rest periods, to train normally, the Greek, as can be seen in the training video posted on the Benfica website, has returned to full training, normally and seems to be in harmony with Tropin and Samuel. Soares appeared, in the video, saluting the 21-year-old young goalkeeper to form Al-Nusour, who was in the starting line-up in the last round and is likely to return in the eleventh round to German coach Benfica. For the match on Saturday, in Barcelos, for the league, on the third day and from 20:30.

Vlachodemus renewed his contract in March until 2027 and has a release clause of 60 million euros. He is 29 years old and has been at Benfica since 2018. As mentioned, SAD is available to listen to offers, but does not want to sell the goalkeeper pass for less than €10m.

On the other hand, Flachodemus Said is in Benfica and Portugal; He still wants to leave if he loses his title for good (not least because he wants to keep his place in the Greek national team), but he goes into action right away. He wants nothing less than Benfica and at this time the market offers no exciting goalkeeper alternatives.

The Manchester United hypothesis was not even on the table, and Dutch Ajax, another slogan associated with Vlachodemus that the recent market windows tried to transfer, did not move to receive the player.
So, we will probably see on Saturday, in Barcelos, against Gil Vicente, Samuel Soares in goal, Anatoly Tropin on the bench and Vlashodemos as the third choice.
