However, I'll include another link regarding Pablo Aimar's transfer to Benfica and it makes me wonder how this will affect Feddy's opportunities there. The Benfica manager is under tremendous pressure to win and is less likely to give Freddy a place in the starting XI when he has a more proven player at his disposal. Freddy has mainly been coming off the bench for Benfica and it looks like he might be in for another season of that unless perhaps he can change things with his performance at the Olympic Games.

Best thing for the kid is not to worry about the other players coming in and out. If he performs in these Olympics, it will take care of itself. This is his "big chance." (Of course, so was the U20s, but he basically cashed in on that one, so that chance sets up this chance.)
I disagree to a point. Its very easy to get lost in the shuffle at a big European club, which Benfica are for the Portuguese league. Adu needs to be at a club that will allow him to develop as a player, but will also give him the chance to be a starter and play the full 90. I agree with you though in that if he does perform well at the Olympics it will help his situation and perhaps he will move onto another club that will give him such an opportunity.
One thing that I really got from the article is that he's at a very crucial stage in his development and for his sake (along with that of the U.S.) he needs to make the right moves career-wise and that doesn't include sitting on the bench in Europe somewhere.
