Portuguese giants Benfica have revealed their list for the club’s player of the year award with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Aimar-c28938 and Javi Garcia as the nominees.
The Reds have a rich history of churning out some of the best players in Europe, with the likes of Eusebio, Angel di Maria and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuno-Gomes-c28237 being glaring examples.
Last year it was Seleccao star Coentrao who gathered all the plaudits and unsurprisingly this season there hasn’t been any shortage of quality performers either.
Veteran midfielder Pablo Aimar has been one of the side’s most prominent players this term. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 man has pulled the strings of the centre of the park to great effect and despite his advanced age has guided the Lisbon giants to a berth in the
latter stages of the UEFA Champions League.
Spanish pass-master Javi Garcia is perhaps one of the most underrated footballers in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, as he is rarely seen dominating the sidelines like his more illustrious teammates. The Real Madrid reject has been pivotal to the Eagles’ attacking brand of football,
coupling grit and determination with an acute sense of passing. An unsung hero, he truly deserves a place on the prestigious list.
Last not but not least, Maxi Pereira comes into the equation after lighting up Estadio da Luz with some glittering displays this term. With 59 Uruguayan caps to his name, his potential has always been undoubted but only in the last couple of years has he
begun to demonstrate his qualities on regular basis.
Having won the Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 tournament with the Sky Blue last summer, his outings have oozed quality and placed Benfica in the ascendency for the Primeira Liga title.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 in the Liga Sagres table and with their form; it’s not hard to imagine them lifting the trophy in May.
While there are have been many catalysts in their campaign so far, the trio mentioned above have definitely been the most influential. But still it remains to be seen which one of them won ends up with the annual award.
