Back from injury are: Petit (defensive midfielder) He'll probably play some minutes in this game. David Luiz (centre back) is likely start. Nelson (right defender) is back to be an option. Rodriguez (left winger) and Maxi (right winger) came late from the international game against Brazil and didn't make the list. So we could see Adu on the wings. Goalkeepers: Quim e Butt. Defenders: Luisão, David Luiz, Léo, Luís Filipe, Edcarlos, Nélson Midfielders: Petit, Binya, Katsouranis, Rui Costa, Adu, Di Maria, Nuno Assis, Forwards: Mantorras, Cardozo e Nuno Gomes. Ps: Following this match are the home games with AC Milan for the Champions League, and a Classic with FC Porto.
Bump. I anticipate Freddy will get some minutes in this one. Benfica are currently in 2nd place, 4 points behind the leaders Porto. Academica is in 13th place with only 8 points from 10 matches. In other words, Benfica need to get points from this one.
According to ojogo.pt: Benfica Coach José António Camacho - 12 | Quim Gk 2 | Luís Filipe RB 4 | Luisão CB 23 | David Luiz CB 5 | Léo LB 18 | Binya DM 8 | Katsouranis DM 10 | Rui Costa OM 25 | Nuno Assis RW 20 | Di María LW 21 | Nuno Gomes ST - 24 | Butt GK 22 | Nélson RB 3 | Edcarlos CB 6 | Petit DM (will play) 30 | Freddy Adu OM/F 7 | Cardozo ST (will play) 9 | Mantorras ST
The benfica bus just passed me a little while ago when i was taking the bus home and i think i saw adu but it was hard to tell cause they passed fast with the police escort and all. it's to bad i won't be able to be at the game cause i'm a dirt poor student who thinks watching games at the stadium is a waste of money... i'd rather spend the money on booze celebrating later even though i'm a hardcore benfica fanatic. Anyways, it should be a good game between my two favorite teams with slb having to win. not having rodriguez is a blow but should give adu more chance to get minutes. and it'll be great to finally see luisão and david luiz playing together... 1 of the best pair of center-backs in the world (luisão is worldclass and luiz is gonna be better imo) and the pitbull, petit getting some minutes... cardozo not so much as somebody said because he is still semi-injuried. hopefully adu scores at least a hat trick in the 7 minutes he'll play!
Well anything less and people will start talking about how overrated and overhyped he is. I'm looking for him to pull an Alves and put 7 in the net!

I'm going out to eat any pbp I can read through will be repped when I get back especially pbp from WHEN Freddy makes his appearance
Cardozo comes in for Nuno Assis. Not sure if he got injured because I walked away from my PC when I saw Freddy wasn't starting.
It should have been Adu on for Assis but camacho must of put cardozo on just cause i said he probally wasn't coming in but u can tell cardozo is not 100%. crappy game so far... alot of fouls.
