bad 1st half. the 2nd half was much better but we still need to improve a lot
the best players of the game, in my opinion, were katsourains, petit, rui costa, di maria and cardozo
- katsouranis- he was the leader of the defense and was always in the right spot. he's not a fast player but i makes up for that but having a great tactical knowledge and being able to be in the right place at the right time
- petit - this guy is a beast. when he's i a good shape there's no player like him. he ran miles, recovered a lot of balls and started many attacks
- rui costa - the best benfca player. once again he showed his class and a great physical condition for a player of his age. scored a fantastic goal and made the team play. absolute class
- di maría - great buy. he's very very fast, isn't afraid to dribble past the defenders, has great tecnhique and showed some very interesting details. but he still has to work on his passing timing and has to gain "entrosamento" with his team mates
- cardozo - other great buy. he might seem clumsy and slow but i think he's a fantastic player. still not in his best physical shape but won a lot of balls int the air, made pressure and scored 2 goals. i'm sure he's relieved to score his 1st official goal and now he'll play better
this pause in the superliga will be good for us cause now players will have time to better understand camacho's phyloshopy, gain "entrosamento", and probably to recover some injured players
in the end of the match, rui costa was brilliant again. "Temos de pensar é em ser Benfica. Fernando Santos fez tudo para que esta equipa andasse para a frente. Infelizmente, isso não aconteceu, não conseguimos bons resultados, e ele pagou pelos erros". he knows benfica's playing bad wasn't only santos fault and he assumes the fault, even when he's been benfica's best player. again, absolute class
ps: alguém sabe como se diz entrosamento em inglês ?
