Rafa Silva, who controversially left Besiktas in the winter transfer window and joined Benfica, has become the target of serious criticism in Portugal. Sport24.az reports that the experienced footballer's return has caused great disappointment.
It is worth remembering that Rafa Silva strained relations with the club in order to leave Besiktas, even refusing to attend training. However, things are not going as he wanted in Benfica, where he was transferred with great hope. The 32-year-old footballer has scored only 2 goals in 12 matches for his new team.
Silva's sharply declining performance is being harshly criticized in the Portuguese press. Fans and experts emphasize that he has not adapted to the team both physically and psychologically, and that there is no trace of his energy in Besiktas.
It seems that the star footballer, who fled the love of Istanbul fans, is now facing pressure instead of support in his own country.
