I hope Benfica takes advantage of Viktor Gyokeres' absence at Sporting and wins the match on July 31st. There are only a few days left. If Benfica loses, it's a strong sign that we won't achieve anything in this season that's starting off so poorly. I'm not confident with this Benfica coach. I don't think he'll be able to take advantage of Sporting's weaknesses. His problem is his attack, which isn't very efficient, and without Di Maria, things will be more difficult.
Benfica gets to the opponent's defense a lot, but they can't effectively score every time they get to the opponent's defense. Sporting, on the other hand, didn't need to get to the opponent's defense often; they were very effective in attack with Viktor Gyokeres. But without him, Sporting will be weak.
I partially agree. I think Gyokeres is good, but the team doesn't depend on him that much. I think even without him, the team can get along and maintain a high level. Without him, it's a loss, but I don't think any team should be so dependent on one person.
Sporting Lisbon would easily get past the lose of Gyokeres it's not going to affect them much cause they're not a team that depends too much on a striker to win games moreover the huge fees recovered from the sale of Gyokeres is enough to get them two fast rising attackers then train them into becoming the new Gyokeres for the team.
