Aberdeen Manager Jimmy Thelin Shares What Midfielder Dante Polvara Needs to Do to Earn Starting Spot in Bucharest Clash

Midfielder Polvara made a major impact when coming off the bench against the Romanians in the Europa League play-off first leg at Pittodrie.

 

Polvara was introduced with the Dons trailing 2-0 and netted within two minutes of his introduction to kick-start a fightback to draw 2-2.

 

American Polvara has yet to start this season but impressed when coming off the bench in the Premiership losses to Celtic and Hearts.

“Always it is about performance and Dante did really well.

 

“Now, it is about stretching this capacity in more and more minutes.

 

“But he is showing now in all the games he plays that he is much quicker with his feet, his intensity and decision making.

 

“He has strength and power in the box so let’s see in the future, but his performance against FCSB was top.”

 

Polvara has proven to be a big game player on the European stage

Aberdeen face FCSB at the 55,000 capacity National Arena in the return leg on Thursday.

 

Dante Polvara can bring ‘creativity’

Thelin accepts Polvara can bring “something extra” for the Dons but the challenge is to deliver that more consistently.

 

He said: “Dante has shown now for some weeks and some performances in games that his form is coming back.

 

“Dante is strong and can do something extra, something on his own.

 

“He can bring that creativity and the way he scored the goal against FCSB was totally top level.
