Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who has not scored or assisted in the last 4 league matches he played with the Portuguese team Benfica, has started to be discussed all over the country. RECENTLY CRITICIZEDNegative comments have started to be made about Kerem. Benfica's head coach Bruno Lage also made statements at a press conference before the match against Braga in the League Cup. "THEY NEED TO PUSH THEIR LIMITS"The Portuguese coach's response to the question, "Kerem's performance is declining, how do you explain this?" was, "We felt that some players experienced a slight drop in performance in the last two matches because we played every three days in a row. You might say, 'But you said you trust everyone.' and I do. I am not turning my back on anyone, I am not leaving anyone behind. But the players need to push their limits to work with me. I need to feel that they are ready to work and play at this level," which stirred up the situation. While some football fans found the coach justified, others argued the opposite. BENFICA RECORDKerem Aktürkoğlu has played 27 matches this season with the Benfica jersey. The 26-year-old national star scored 12 goals and provided 9 assists in these matches. Kerem, who transferred to the Portuguese representative at the beginning of the season, has a contract with his team until 2029.
