On Sunday evening SL Benfica reached another victory. This time was a tuff game against the reds, from the city of Braga. Both teams played very well in the midfield, the defensive players did the rest, leaving few “space” for the goalkeepers to demonstrate their qualities.
Nevertheless both goalkeepers, when called, gave the better answer possible, making remarkable saves. Moreira is gaining confidence and that must leave Quim worried. Eduardo is other Quim’s opponent but on the National Team and had once again the opportunity to defend an important penalty kick, that could had put and end to the game.
Unfortunately the referees in Portugal have more attention, on the Media, than the players. Benfica benefited on two referee wrong decisions: the David Luiz goal was scored benefitting of an off side position; Luisão committed an area’s fault that was reason enough to a Penalty kick.
The coach and the Braga’s responsible People, came to the media saying that this referees attitude, was not seen on the last twenty years and that this game turned impossible the access from Braga to the top of the classification.
The reason is without any doubt, on their side, and they should say it very loud. What is not comprehensible is that only now, only on this particular game, they have reached that conclusion. I agree with Jesus when he says that his team should be discussing the championship. Yes they should, but the referee’s authority since the beginning of this season and on the last twenty years are probably preventing that.
Talking about strange things in Portuguese Football, Makukula is probably leaving the Club, without the possibility, to proof his qualities and justifying the money the Club gave for him. Makukula may go to the Premiership where Cristiano Ronaldo had the chance to reach the Top.
Football is a world of money.
