It seems that this Sport Lisboa e Benfica came out of a Fairy Tail.
The extraordinary results obtained by our Glorious team don’t seem to end. It looks like we Benfiquistas are in a fictional fantasy where Jorge Jesus is the Magician that transformed the red players, allowing them to perform amazing acts. On a weekend dominated by the election of the Portuguese Prime Minister, Benfica decided to occupy again the newspapers headlines. The five goals victory achieved against Leixões Sport Club caused the positive impact on the Press.

Some people say that the ones who speak Spanish or Castilian on the team are the responsible for the positive results. Like for instance Aimar, Saviola, Di Maria, Maxi Pereira, Javi Garcia and Cardozo. This last one, Cardozo, started so well the current season, that is already one of the best strikers on Europe, this on what respects to goals scored. The truth is that Tacuara is talked on the news like Fernando Torres or Antonio Di Natale concerning the goals they scored. Óscar Cardozo, known also as Tacuara scored twice on this last game and not all the goals obtained until now were on penalty shots. The fantastic header on his second goal against the team of Matosinhos is the proof of that.
Others say that the Portuguese language is fundamental on the team and that players like Nuno Gomes (Captain), Fábio Coentrão, Ruben Amorim or Quim make the difference. Finally the ones who also believe in Portuguese language but with some Brazilian pronounce. On that chapter the protagonists are Luisão, Ramires and David Luis. The Brazilian defenders make what they are asked to and always they can, help the forwarders scoring, principally on free and corner kicks. The team of Leixões came to Luz Stadium knowing that this could happen and they did their best to avoid it. Things were not going very bad to the men oriented by José Mota, on the first half, although the goal suffered and the ingenuity of Pouga had originated a second yellow card and the respective sanction. Aimar was missing many passes fortunately he made the brilliant cross to David Luiz head. With the second half appeared a better organized Benfica and the faults committed by the opponent players only helped our team to play the type of football Jesus likes. The result of so many faults was another expulsion and this time of Nuno Silva, who was being in our opinion one of the best players on the game. The goals from Cardozo, Maxi Pereira and Ramires came naturally and there was nothing Zé Manuel whe entered on the Matosinhos team could do. Zé Manuel celebrated, on Saturday night, his participation on 250 Portuguese League games.
More than 40000 spectators saw the game against Leixões, probably among them was the new red fan number 200 000. Let's reach the 300 000!
