Last Sunday our team gathered more 3 important points. The victory against Clube de Futebol Estrela da Amadora was very important and also difficult because of the terrible financial problems E. Amadora is facing. The players from E. Amadora as any other professionals deserve to receive their money at the end of each month as agreed.
Claque No Name Boys (NN)
The word CLAQUE comes from the french and means clapping. The men from Politic or from showbizz always knew along the centuries how important was to receive applauds.
Many years ago, the claques become so important that people were hired to make part of it. A french poet, Jean Daurat decided to apply this system to one of his Teather plays. Daurat bought several ticket one night and gave them to the people who promissed to applaud, among the audience.
The positive results attracted more audience, better critics and more financial gains and off course importance. It become so important that the Claques started to be more organized. The final result was more or less similar to this: a manager of the show could send orders to the leader of the claque and the restant participants would start to applaude.
Nowadays, the group of supporters from a certain Club are designated Claques. The Claques in Portugal have good and bad things and NN are no exception.
I rather prefer to correct what is not as we wish and to see what’s good in a Claque.
The supporters belonging to the Claque are the one’s who normally attend to the entrainements, other modalities and to almost every football games of the team. Also the away games are here included. These supporters sing for the team and applaud the players like no one else. The members of NN like any other great Benfica’s fan really do not care if it rains or if it is cold, they only want to see the team play. Some words of a song express that feeling: “ if Benfica looses I do not want to have dinner…”
The Claques will never terminate and Sport Lisboa e Benfica with good organization should have much more things to gain than to loose in this process.
