We have one of the best central defensive partnerships in Europe, says Benfica's http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Aimar-c28938
Benfica star, Pablo Aimar, claims that his side have one of the best central defensive partnerships in Europe. The midfielder insisted that that his teammates Luisao and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Garay-c13071 were amongst the top players in their positions and were one of the reasons
why the club was still unbeaten.
Portuguese giants, Benfica, are one of only two teams that have remained unbeaten in the Primeira Liga season so far. The Reds have yet to taste defeat this term and have conceded fewer goals than any of their rivals.
While their sublime attack contains luminaries like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 Cardozo, Nolito and Nicolas Gaitan, the trio are not the only ones who have contributed to the side’s winning streak.
The Eagles’ defence is arguably the toughest to beat in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 and their resilience in Europe has also been noted in their UEFA Champions League games this campaign.
Luisao, who was on the verge of a switch to Paris Saint-Germain this summer hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down and contrary to that has been even more impressive. Joining him at the back is Ezequiel Garay, who has revitalized his career after seeking
a transfer away from Real Madrid.
Being the first choice at pairing at the helm, the duo are complemented by Maximiliano Pereira and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emerson-c12442 on the flanks, making them a force to be reckoned with.
As the defenders were one of the main reasons why Benfica were riding on top of the Liga Sagres standings, Pablo Aimar was keen to lavish praise on his teammates and said that they were the best centre-backs on the continent.
Speaking to reporters, the former Real Zaragoza man said that both the South Americans were amongst the top players in their position and their contributions on the pitch were one of the reasons why the club had managed to retain their form.
"I do not see other things out there. Incidentally, Benfica have the best central defenders in Europe. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luisão-c22837 and Garay are the best players in Europe their positions,” Pablo Aimar was quoted as saying.
Benfica’s defensive credentials will next be put to the test when the club take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Braga-c40460 on the 6th of November.
