Adu: Benfica - Vitoria 8/25 (R)

[JG]

Freddy in the squad again--only 18 players listed this time so he will at least make the bench:

http://www.maisfutebol.iol.pt/noticia.php?id=846569&div_id=1456

Guarda-redes - Quim e Butt;
Defesas - Léo, Nélson, Luís Filipe, Miguelito e Miguel Vítor;
Médios - Katsouranis, Andrés Diaz, Rui Costa, Petit, Nuno Assis e Romeu Ribeiro;
Avançados - Nuno Gomes, Cardozo, Coentrão, Bergessio e Adu.

[Quaresma]

Hes also been registered to play in the junior league, so for times when he doesnt play often he will play for the juniors.

starting 11 will probably be:


--------------Quim---------------
-----Miguel Vitor---Katso---------
Nelson-------------------------Leo
-------------Petit----------------
Assis-------Rui Costa--------Coentrao
-------Gomes------Cardozo-------


Mantorass wasnt called.

[DaPrince84]

I read you all sold Nuno Gomes... or are at least attempting too... to ManCity

--------------Quim---------------
-----Miguel Vitor---Katso---------
Nelson-------------------------Leo
-------------Petit----------------
Assis-------Rui Costa--------Coentrao
-------Gomes------Cardozo-------

pretty much it.
although I'm not sure of which tactic camacho will use.
he likes to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and sooner or later he'll try to use it. not sure it will be now though.

[Quaresma]

Once everyone is fit i think camacho will use a 4-3-3

Has Di Maria even played a game yet? I'm a little confused as to why you already have him penciled in a starting role.

he's projecting a possible "future" team, in his opinion, not a team that will play the next match.

gray card means it's a neutral rep. the person doesn't have enough rep power to affect your reputation be it positive or negative.

[Quaresma]

Imagine our squad if we kept miccoli fernandes and simao..


-------------Quim---------------
--------Luisao----Luiz-----------
Nelson------------------------Leo
--------------Petit---------------
-----Fernandes----Rui Costa------
---Miccoli---------------Simao---
-------------Cardozo------------

Amazing lineup.

I emant once everyone is fit..Di Maria was bought to be starter to try and replace simaos void and act as an attacking midfielder to play in Cardozo.

Time to review the YA board rules:

If Freddy doesn't play, Benfica should lose

If Freddy does play, Benfica should win.

If Freddy plays and Benfica loses, it's soneone else's fault.

If Freddy doesn't play and Benfica wins, the opponent was a panty-waisted weakling.

[pokemoncards]

If for any reason it would be from playing in Argentina rather than MLS.

Rui Costa won't start and nither will Assis with C.Rodriquez here he looks the part. Benfica are closing in on CM Oubina and are also looking for a new CB.

some names being mention are Alex DaSilva Of Cruzeiro EC,

But Adu will play in this game I beleive they finished 2nd in the 2nd division but they have a player names Pele who plays CM and is a god in that Postion so Adu will be having a tough time

The stadium is to have 45,000 tickets sold already and the adversaries V,Guimaraes have the toughest Ultras in the Country they are gross and riot for every little thing. I hope we trash them back to the 80's they are scum
