The former Benfica coach, Gaspar Ramos, defends that there is no other option than to sell Vlachodimos, otherwise there will be problems in the red dressing room. In an interview with TSFThe former vice president of the Eagles criticizes Roger Schmidt for the way the coach handled the situation with the goalkeeper.
“The attitudes that were taken in public devalue one of Benfica’s assets and could create a wardrobe problem in the future. To avoid at least that, it is necessary to negotiate the departure of Vlachodimos”, says Gaspar Ramos, stressing that “the The value of the transfer would be different if the coach did not have these attitudes.”
In these statements to TSFThe former coach has no doubts that “a complicated environment was created and the coach had a lot to do with it” and defends the Greek international goalkeeper: “We have to recognize that Vlachodimos, regardless of what he did for six years, is Natural for a goalkeeper. Good and bad things. He is a great goalkeeper and, perhaps, we even owe him the victory in the last championship”.
Gaspar Ramos does not agree with the way in which the eagles coach acted in this situation, despite admitting “that the coach has this or that preference”, but considers that Roger Schmidt “must not forget that Vlachodimos is an asset to the Benfica that cannot be devalued”.
What is certain is that there are already two clubs interested in Vlachodimos. Manchester United and also Ajax should submit proposals for the Benfica goalkeeper. The journalist Fabrizio Romano, a specialist in the transfer market, writes that the Red Devils they want a goalkeeper who competes with André Onana, signed this season. Ajax is also competing for the goalkeeper and is preparing to make an offer, according to the Greek press.
