Liga Sagres: Clube de Futebol «Os Belenenses» 0-4 Sport Lisboa e Benfica‏



Jesus knew perfectly well what to do in Belém to win the game and obtained an amazing victory.

The Stadium of the team Clube de Futebol - «Os Belenenses» is located in Restelo.This beautifull side of Lisbon agregates one of the best neighbourhoods of the city, Restelo and also the most important Turistic part, Belém. On Restelo we can find expensive and marvellous houses, many belonging to embaixes. Belém has at least three Lisbon top Monuments, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Torre de Belém and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos. All these monuments are somehow related with the Portuguese discoveries made arround the world through the seas. In Belém we can also find Centro Cultural de Belém, museums and the Tippical and delicious cake “Pastel de Belém”.

It is an usual joke, to say that when a team plays in the Stadium of Belenenses and suffers goals that is taking home Pasteis, that famous cake. Well this time the fortune smiled to Benfica and we won the game with four goals without response. But not everything was bad to the responsables of Belenenses, the Benfica fans that wanted to see the game in loco helped financially a lot buying the majoroty of the tickets.

Benfica entered strong on the game and soon scored. A tremendous run from Javier Saviola, passing by the Beleneses deffenders and keeper like if it was easy. A goal to be seen by all the football lovers arround the globe. Some other opportunities were created without success having at the same time a solid deffense. Talking about the deffense it’s necessary to congratulate Maxi Pereira for his return, on the second half, after being injured. This second 45 minutes were marked for the goals scored, three on total. Initially by Cardozo, secondly by J. Garcia and the last one by Ramires. Ramires is presently one of the most important players of the team, not only for the fact that he is scoring goals but also because he consolidates the team. Ramires is the kind of player that makes what the coach wants and is able to superate all expectations. He works harder than what is expected and the result is positive for the group. The great players are difficult to identify inside the lines, they do what they are asked to and even more and when they do that they don’t compromize the team.



Ramires Santos do Nascimento (1987 /03/24)
Ramires is natural from Barra do Piraí, Brazil.He was discovered while he represented Joinville Esporte Clube where he played until 2oo7. Cruzeiro Esporte Clube bought his Pass on that year and soon he gained his place on the team. Ramires plays rapidly being very resistent. He is very good technically. Shots easily and recovers many balls passing them also quite well. He represented Brazil on the Olympic Games obtaining the Bronze Medal. On that tournament he had players on the Brazilian team like Pato (AC Milan), Ronaldinho (AC Milan), Diego (Juventus FC) and Alex Silva (Hamburger SV) Luisão’s brother. Ramires won the Championship Mineiro 2oo8/o9 and the Silver Ball given by the Placar Magazine in 2oo8. This prize his given to players who have been avaliated by the Placar Magazine Reporters that are presented in all the games from Brasileirão. More recently he represented Brazil and won the Confederations Cup that took place in South Africa.



Jesus, Benfica’s coach is doing what the Club needed. Everyone is conscient that nothing is won and that much needs to be done. The reds coach is putting every players working and saying this should not be considered depreciative to the work done until now. The fact is that they are football players professional and Jorge Jesus wants them “breading” football and if they fell asleep they should be dreaming with the ball and positions on the field. For instance video of football games, eveybody watch, but the motivation to watch them are different mabybe because each player understands perfectly well what is expected from him.
