Can we Believe? Yes we Can!

Benfica lost an important game last thurday. The turkish Club left our Stadium with a brilliant victory, they studied well the way Benfica plays and prepared evan better. A great perfomance of the Galatasaray AS miedfielders allowed them the control of the game. The final result was 0-2 defeat and there was nothing more our team could do, at least in that specific game. That’s probably why the Benfica supporters among the 46 676 spectators accepted so well the final result.

To the question: Can we believe?
The answer is obvious: Yes we can!

The players are giving their best, altough we all feel they can do better. The couch Quique Flores fortunately loves football and probably studies the games until exhaustion. As good coach he is, he knows exactly the best tactic to use, with the players he has at his service in the group. The team is improving the habitual tactic and that allows experiences of another players and of other field positions. Against Desportivo das Aves, last monday in our Stadium, for the Millenium Cup, some things changed and that permited an important victory (3-0).

Aimar made other brilliant pass, Yebda scored an amazing goal and David Luiz is back.
