Benfica boss Jorge Jesus claims that the whole club must help star midfielder Nicolas Gaitan return to normal, as the Argentine does not react well when things do not go his way.
Amongst the most sought after players on the continent, Nicolas Gaitan, has been a pivotal figure in the Benfica team that has been so dominant this season. Moving from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658 in 2010, the midfielder hardly made an impact during his first campaign
but in his 2nd has been making all the headlines.
Starring in the club’s UEFA Champions League run, the 23-year-old was singled out for praise by Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson, ahead of Benfica’s clash with the Red Devils. Gaitan then proceeded to demonstrate his abilities and was his side’s catalyst as they drew firstly
at Estadio da Luz then at Old Trafford.
The Sky Blue International is well known for his array of passing skills and his trickery that can leave defenders in his wake. Not one of the most prolific attackers in the game, the talented midfielder has found the back of the net only once this season.
However what is remarkable is how he is able to influence proceedings on his own and create scoring chances for his teammates. With an impressive tally of 9 assists to his name already, it is hardly a surprise that a plethora of sides have been linked with
Gaitan.
While Manchester United maybe keen on signing him, Benfica are unwilling to let him go and have utilized his services to the brim this campaign.
That is thought to be one of the reasons why the player gets frustrated when things do not go their way. Reds’ coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus highlighted this and said that the whole club should help Gaitan get back to normal when he is unable to function properly.
"Nico is not very reliable. We have to help him. Me and the team, so that he can return to normality, in which he helps us a lot. He does not react well when things did not go according to plan from the beginning,” the tactician was quoted as saying.
With his potential Nicolas Gaitan is capable of playing at the highest level and he should be able to do so in the future, if he can maintain his normality that is.
