Liga Sagres: Sport Lisboa e Benfica 3-1 Clube de Futebol «Os Belenenses»

The season ended for Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Now it is time for holidays and above all to study and learn with the mistakes committed. It seems that with so much money invested the results should have been better. In general, it is more than accepted the idea that financially, things are going well. The fans want more and they deserve more. The expectations are always high, winning a Cup and finishing the Portuguese League on a third place is for sure dramatic.

The ghosts on the exterior should not always be responsible for the bad results. We know that talking on the press about the difficulties of the Club gives Television audiences and off course sells newspapers. If Benfica sells the Club cannot fight against it so the better answer is to start feeding the Media, collaborating with them and turning at the same time Benfica Tv on a strong project.

The same occurs for instance with Portuguese Clubs. All clubs want to defeat a Benfica that plays with a lot of foreign players winning a lot of money compared with the salaries their players earn. Above that if they do win they might not do anything more on the rest of the season, but who cares if they have some hours or days of Gloria in the press… Foreign young players are needed and can for sure help the Club playing football and also financially. Young promises, Portuguese or not, are always welcome and needs investments in the times we are living. Our academy is working very well but there are a lot of prospection’s to continue doing around.

Fellipe Bastos scored a great goal on the victory that just confirmed the poor exhibition of the team “Os Belenenses” this season.


Fellipe Ramos Ignez Bastos (1990/02/01)

Fellipe is one of those young kids who can for sure be talked about in this context. Nevertheless he participated only in two games, making 133 minutes of an entire season. Although he is very young and has for sure much to learn it seems that the opportunities to show his value could have been more.

Fellipe is natural from Rio de Janeiro. This brilliant young player played earlier for Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas where he achieved fantastic perfomances. He also was the captain fo the Brazilian Under 17 team playing on Fifa 2007 World Cup held in Korea Republic. Extremely caution deffending and positioning when the team is attacking. Enjoys to have the ball and to play with it. Will for sure have a great future on his feet.


If I played on a Club I would be honoured to see my old team captain or one of the oldest guys playing against me, representing SL Benfica, on the following season. Respect is something beautiful but we most understand how to get it.
