One benfiquista happy!
SL Benfica had the chance to take the Portuguese League command, but this task proved to be too much heavy to the player’s shoulders. Benfica not only couldn’t reach the first place but also lost the second place to SCP.
The Vitoria de Guimarães coach recognized his sympathy for Benfica, but also recognized he had the dream of winning one day in our stadium. After some defeats against Benfica, this season, Manuel Cajuda’s dream came true.
The public, near 47.000, who dislocated to the “eagles nest” on Saturday, became disappointed with everyone’s work, more then with the result. A strange tension assumed the players, showed on some indecision between the red players on the moment to shot the nets. Normally a team that doesn’t score a goal gives the other team the chance to do it, and that’s just what really happened on this game.
Quique told Urreta to enter the game and he could have changed things, but he wasn’t lucky, although his efforts.
Jonathan Matías Urretaviscaya da Luz (1990/03/19)
Jonathan da Luz, known as Urreta was born in Montevideo, Uruguay. He started playing football in Club Atlético River Plate and there he stayed until his departure to Portugal.
Urreta represents Uruguay, since young kid. When he was 16, went to the 2007 South American U-17 Tournament, to represent his country. There he played very well scoring also important goals. European Clubs began to keep an eye on the young winger and one tried to take him to United Kingdom. Tottenham Hotspur FC invited Urreta to do some tests and stay in the Club but some secretary difficulties occurred and the Uruguayan forward had to return to his homeland.
After excellent contribute to his team on the 2008 Clausura Tounament, SL Benfica managed to sign Urretaviscaya on a five seasons contract.
Urreta is the kind of player who can play without fixed position in the attack. Normally he assumes the wings where his velocity and good cross capacity make more damage on the opposite defenses. A dedicated player, that shots with precision when the chance occurs. Thinks rapidly and opens spaces on the “enemy lines”, making passes that can isolate his companions.
The great exhibitions/performances from Urreta on the last U-20 Fifa’s Tournament consolidated this young player value.
Urreta has the same name “da Luz” as the stadium where he actually plays, and many benfiquistas have many hopes in this genial player.
