Nothing but a win is needed for Benfica tonight and thats just to have a chance for Europa League playoffs.
we need 2 wins against socieded to even have a chance to advance
Even if a Sociedad win would increase a lot our chances to qualify to the KO stage, our ambitions should be to win this group and avoid all the group winners in the Ro16 (City, Bayern, Barca Madrid etc.) so Forza Benfica…
Two Benfica wins vs La Real and we should only think to win in Salzburg to top the group
This group had a push last year with the coming of a foreign coach. It was exciting and they responded accordingly. Home-owners like Rafa played like no tomorrow. We also had class in the midfield, providing long passes with an amazing vision on Enzo Fernandes. A Gonçalo Ramos in the right places. A Grimaldo on the time of his life, so much power offensively from him.
We lost every single thing that worked last season. We are back at stage 0. Even the stadium is dead silent. Mental butchers, the lot. The thing that differ us from Sporting on the joke departament, is that they at least try. This group is almost self-inflicted, cant be arsed for their lifes
Mario needs to get subbed out. Arsunes to his position and bring in Florentino ideally for the midfield. No point having these ball playing midfielders if you don’t have the fucking ball.
Benfica just flat out don’t play well everytime they play a good opponent. At some point you have to do something different or else your just going to get the same thing over and over again.
Take out mario, move rafa to the wing and bring in florentino, play 3 in the mid for a change and see if we can actually hold on to the ball for more than 2 passes.
Great save by Trubin!
