Adel Taarabt: The Flawed Genius The Streets Won't Forget

You'd be forgiven if Adel Taarabt had fallen off your radar in recent years. Despite spells of occasional brilliance since leaving QPR, the Moroccan has struggled to settle down and get regular game time anywhere.
But, now aged 30, he's moved back into a deeper midfield role, reinventing himself at Benfica just when all appeared lost.
It's quite the turnaround after only making his debut for the club nearly four years after joining, but will it last...?

No matter what happens with Lage, his handling of João Félix and Taraabt were fantastic and a pleasure for Benfiquistas to watch.

He's not a CDM, Benfica plays in 442 and Adel and Gabriel are both CMs that can press really high when in defence or create plays when we are attacking

On everything, blood is the i reason watch & play football. It’s easy too blame taarabt, for him not living up too his potential. As a man, he should blame himself. However, I can’t help but wonder. What could of been, had he had a manager that just accepted him for who he was.

This guy, is wonderful to watch, but he's got a problem, is the coach from benfica who prefers to play another called Pizzi who is so weak and taarabt don't play much because of the coach
