The spectators who went to “Restelo” stadium, last Friday had the possibility to assist to a great game.
Benfica won one point against “Os Belenenses” and unfortunately there were no goals on this match. The bad weather may justify why the nets stood inviolate.
The derby from Lisbon is always a pleasant game to be watched. Quique Flores knew that and tried to manage the team the better way possible. Rúben Amorim gave all he could inside the house, where he was so happy. David Suazo needs space to evolutes but that doesn’t mean he should be alone, the team knows that and tries to help many times, working solidly, not only defensively, but also when attacking.
Luisão is one of the most important players in the team. When he is on his best form and when he feels positively he helps his companions a lot. The defence becomes more organized and the team progress in the field with the ball more self confident. Obliviously that helps the team to concentrate on what the coach wants and to focus on what really matters.
Anderson Luís da Silva (1981/02/13)
Anderson da Silva, known as Luisão, was born in Amparo (São Paulo).
Luisão, Alex, Andrei and Andressa grew up breading football. Their father Mário Luís da Silva fortunately gave a big importance to sport. Mr Mário da Silva used to play football also in the defense having nowadays a Football School. Although their happiness sometimes life wasn’t easy, and they passed through some difficulties for instance, when it rained they were always worried with the water drops, falling inside the house.
Rio Branco in Amparo, was the first Club where Luisão and his brother Alex started playing football.
Luisão was signed by Benfica in the summer of 2003. Before that he had played in Juventus - Esporte Clube Juventude (1999-2000) and also, for 3 seasons in Cruzeiro Esporte Clube. There in Minas Gerais he conquered several titles.
This central defender, with 1.92m tall is nowadays one of the best players of Benfica. The European team known for having had several Brazilian great players acting on that position, like for instance, like Mozer, Ricardo Gomes and Aldair, wants to keep the tradition.
The first times were not easy for Luisão and he had some difficulties on his adaptation to our Club. Thank god he started to put the voices of negativity behind his back and showed everybody the reasons why he had convinced the Benfica responsible people who contracted him.
The time goes by and Luisão becomes like the “Port Wine”, better each year. Committing fewer faults, scoring more goals and above all, helping Benfica with his security to achieve the place where it belongs, the Top.
