SL Benfica [2011|2012]

[Tiago_10]

For non-members the price range for league games starts from 17,5 € to 30 €.

For non-members for CL games (if Benfica still is in the CL by then ) it's 20€ to 75€.

Note that these are the prices for the next matches at home (Benfica - Paços de Ferreira and Benfica - Basel) so there can be changes depending on the opposition or importance of the match, I think.

Well we do have the biggest attendance on the league but unless it's a huge match it's safe to say you can usually find a ticket. But I'd try to buy one as soon as they're available if you want a nice seat.

Hope that helps

Good draw against Porto, bad 1st half and great 2nd half.

Whatever happened to Roberto at Benfica? he is very good in Zaragoza.

Whatever happened to Roberto at Benfica? he is very good in Zaragoza.

He couldn't deal with the pressure of the fans considering his price (8,5 M) and to be fair had almost no time to adapt to a new league, city and club. And of course Benfica plays differently than Zaragoza.

Apart from that he can get that ball on the top corner and yet he's terrible on crosses.

I'm glad he regained his confidence because he seems like a nice guy but Artur Moraes is so much better than him.

I believe Roberto will have a good career, he just couldnt handle the pressure like Tiago_10 said, and the media started making jokes of him.
If he improves on the crosses and FK he will be a good GK.

Anyway tomorrow, CL match, we have to win this one to get a good position already.
Dont know if we should rotate a bit the lineup. In CL there is always surprises.

 

[Tiago_10]

So we won, still we should've scored another at least to finish the game..

Another good performance by Gaitán. I'm also impressed with Garay, I thought he'd be worse to be honest, he's a solid defender.

And the shocker - Man Utd drew against Basel at Old Trafford.. This was obviously good for us, but on the other side the Swisses shown they will be hard to be beat and really are looking for a place on the next stage.

Good news, the man in the post above Nicolás Gaitán extended his contract which now expires in 2016. His release clause remains 45 million €.

Apparently Maxi Pereira's process is almost done too.

Good things for us, we need to keep the best players if we want to win something.

So a draw against Basel at home, bad result. We should already be qualified but oh well.

Our second half was so boooring, no movement from the players... And the Spanish ref was mediocre, had some very bad decisions including a penalty not called against Basel on the first half.

Still, we should have done more in the second half and Nolito could have been useful had he entered the match earlier. Stupid decision, he couldn't do much on those 5 minutes I'm not sure if it was an indication given by JJ from the hotel he was watching the game or it was the assistant manager.

Positive notes were Rodrigo scoring again and Luis Martins did well considering it was his debut.

 

[Arnau]

the Spanish ref was mediocre

 

[Tiago_10]

Well, he was.

The play I stress is similar to the legendary one that Abel Xavier committed on Euro 2000 against France.

 

[Tiago_10]

Nice dirty tactics from SC Braga. Can't say it's a surprise, but it's always refreshing they find new scams each time we play them in the quarry. And I'm not referring to the doubtful penalty..

To quote our goalkeeper:

Quando o Benfica joga em Braga acontecem coisas do outro mundo.

Todo o momento que queríamos acelerar o jogo, acontecia o apagão. É difícil assim. E depois de o Sp. Braga fazer o golo acabaram os apagões...

 

[Filipower]

So, in sum, you're complaining about apagões.

 

[Tiago_10]

Ahah Yes

I don't support the attitude behind that incident at Luz, but it was after the match was over so no influence on the result.

 

[Coruja]

Can i blame Pinto da Costa? Just because i can?

 

[Master Pi a Gi]

Well, we got the 1st place in the CL with the draw at OT. Good game by us. Rodrigo has also been very good for his first season in the team.

[Filipower]

Haha!
