That would be pretty fucked up for Benfica if it happens, Adu is already a fan favorite and he proved why on the very few chances he had to play.
He scored many important last minute goals, whereas the likes of Di Maria take 5 shots for 1 to hit the target, let alone put the ball in the back of the net.

You need a complete revamp in your squad, too many average players and the good ones aren't being used.

LFV and Chalana are blaming the ref, yes there was a penalty for Benfica when Mateus fouled Leo, but if we go by that, there was also a penalty for Boavista in the first half when Nelson used his arm inside the box.

Blaming the ref is the easier way out, when you don't want to admit your own mistakes. That's the bottom line. And until that continues, you'll never be the great club you were in the past.

Agreed. One has to be able to look in the mirror and honest address one shortcomings. Benfica did not lose because of the refs, they lost because they could not put the ball away on any of their many chances. Our biggest problem is still in the management and coaching of this team. Yes they are playing IMO better than with Camacho but not playing Adu ? Yet he for some reason loves Maxi ? I dont know what he sees in him. Di Maria had a good game.

Academica still looking for points, it seems Pedro Roma always plays well against Benfica

how, for a team the is not doing much
just went up 8,41 percent
:.: Jornal Record :.:

Acções do Benfica sobem 8,41 por cento
CHEGARAM A ESTABELECER NOVO MÁXIMO DO ANO







As acções da Benfica SAD foram o segundo título do índice PSI Geral a subir mais na sessão de hoje na Bolsa de Lisboa, tendo chegado a valer 2,48 euros (subida de 22% para o máximo do ano) e fechando a ganhar 8,41% para 2,19 euros.

A SAD encarnada transaccionou ainda mais de 13 mil títulos na sessão, coisa rara na sociedade.

Segundo a análise da "Agência Financeira", embora durante o dia não fossem divulgadas notícias que possam ter motivado esta subida excepcional, "a SAD anunciou, já há uma semana, que os lucros relativos ao primeiro semestre atingiram 7,7 milhões de euros, seis vezes mais do que tinha sido registado há um ano atrás", embora, contactada pela Agência Financeira, fonte oficial da Luz referisse que "o Benfica desconhece as razões desta movimentação".

Frankie, Roma was the 3rd goal keeper on that 92/93 season backed up Silvino and Neno. I guess the reason why he always plays well against Benfica, is because he must have some kind of a grievance for Benfica letting him go.

Remember last round, when Domingos benched Roma for the Benfica game, and his substitute ended up having some of the blame on the Benfica goals?

[Frank Cunha]

92/93 was one of the best teams ever

Roma was suppose to be the future
he still had a nice career
