DECISIVO NA ESTREIA COM O BENFICA
O grande Cubillas

Quem viu, viu; quem não viu, não sabe o que perdeu. Cubillas, hoje adjunto de Paulo Autuori na selecção do Peru, esteve três épocas e meia no FC Porto, marcou 65 golos e ajudou a abrir caminho para a reconquista do título. O Benfica foi, a propósito, uma das primeiras vítimas do génio nascido em Puente Piedra.

“Com Williams vai-se a espuma mas fica a lanolina”. Era assim que esta conhecida marca de produtos para a higiene masculina anunciava, no início de 1974, um dos seus cremes de barbear, enquanto a Trinaranjus se lançava no mercado sob o “slogan” “as laranjas não têm borbulhas”.

Teófillo Cubillas, o peruano que completou 108 jogos oficiais com a camisola 10 do FC Porto, é ainda hoje recordado com entusiasmo. O craque que o FC Porto contratou no final de 1973, e por quem pagou 6.325 contos só pelo passe, brilhou em Portugal, enchendo muitas vezes não apenas o Estádio das Antas.

O jogador peruano, que veio ganhar a “fabulosa” quantia de 125 contos por mês (Pavão ganhava 50 contos e todos os outros jogadores 12 mil e 500 escudos), justificou plenamente um investimento que mobilizou empresários e adeptos.

Da Suíça para o Porto

Cubillas jogava no FC Basel, na Suíça, e foi também disputado pelo... Sporting. O peruano fez questão de vir conhecer primeiro o Porto e o clube antes de assinar. Tinha 24 anos quando chegou ao Porto, no dia 4 de Dezembro de 1973, assumindo--se logo como “um caso fulgurante de popularidade”. Uma multidão acolheu-o junto à sede do clube, na Avenida dos Aliados, e o jogador teve de vir à varanda saudar o povo.

O “sósia de Cassius Clay” estava de volta no dia 10 de Janeiro de 1974, com o clube das Antas de luto pela morte de Pavão, ocorrida no dia 16 de Dezembro. Uma tragédia que se sucedeu ao grave acidente de viação que deixou o central Armando Manhiça incapacitado para o futebol.

Duelo com Eusébio

O FC Porto estava, em Fevereiro, apenas a um ponto do líder do campeonato, o Sporting, e a par do Benfica. O Vitória de Setúbal, de Pedroto, tinha menos um ponto. A luta do título estava, por isso, acesa. Os azuis e brancos vencem a seguir no Montijo – golo de Nóbrega após “jogada magistral” de Cubillas – e ganham também em Aveiro – primeiro golo de Cubillas e assistência sua para o golo de Abel.

Em Guimarães, empate a zero e Cubillas falha um “penalty”. Na jornada seguinte, o Benfica deslocava-se às Antas e um jornal da época lançou assim a jornada... 23: CUBILLAS-EUSÉBIO, perdão, FC Porto-Benfica. O FC Porto ganha por 2-1. “Cubillas genial forjou vitória por... ‘KO’” foi um dos títulos da época. Abel marcou primeiro, aos 12 minutos, Eusébio, a jogar no meio-campo, empatou aos 33 minutos, a passe de Nené, mas Cubillas, servido por Abel, e após “uma jogada genial”, dá os dois pontos numa partida em que o público transbordou das bancadas para o relvado, proporcionando uma receita de dois mil contos.

O FC Porto viria a sucumbir na corrida ao título, tendo perdido logo na jornada seguinte em Alvalade (0-2), com o segundo golo leonino a ser muito contestado (jogou Dinis a bola com a mão?), tendo sido 4º no final, atrás de Sporting, Benfica e V. Setúbal, de Pedroto.

the next Porto - Benfica was called the Cubillas vs Eusebio, Porto won with Abel today leaving in Newark scoring the first goal, Eusebio playing midfield tied in the 33 m assisted by Nene, but Cubillas assisted by Abel, the game was over soldout with at the time 2000 contos today would be 2 million euros

 

no problem, that's why I'm here
without television, everybody playing either at 3 pm in the winter, 4 pm in the spring, was hard to find a empty seat, I remember go to Beira-Mar, Mario Duarte complete full, everybody standing, they let the kids like me, go under the wood rail and right by the line, so we could see the game,

 

when I went to College at San Jose de Deus in the city of Porto, Rua de Santa Catarina, every other Sunday I would go to a top of mountain by the Antas stadium before the [segundo anel" and we could see half of the Porto field, we just couldn't get any tickets, and also couldn't afford, we could tell when was a Porto goal by the fans reaction

these was before Cubillas came into town

Teofilio Cubillas played in two World Cups eight years apart and scored five goals in each, making him one of the most prolific scorers in World Cup history. A virtually unknown 20 year old in 1970, he was soon acknowledged after helping Peru to the quarter- finals. "Nene" Cubillas was born at Lima in March 1949 and began with local team, Alianza. He liked to run at defences, was fast and had good close control and a fine shot. South American Footballer Of The Year in 1972, the following year he joined FC Basle for £97.000. Six months later he signed for FC Porto, for £200.000, and settled into a midfield role.

Peru did not qualify for the 1974 World Cup, but 12 months later they were South American champions, Cubillas scoring twice in their 3-1 first leg semifinal win over Brazil. When he helped Peru reach the second phase of the 1978 World Cup, he was an Alianza player again. In 1979, Cubillas joined George Best at Fort Lauderdale and in five seasons in the NASL scored 65 goals, including three in seven minutes against Los Angeles Aztecs in 1981. The 1982 World Cup failed to produce any more goals for him and he bowed out after 81 caps and 26 goals for Peru.

in 30 years with all the Porto championships, no Porto player captivaded the fans like he did


he was in Porto at the time of the transaction to the winning ways, thanks in part by the coach and ex Porto player and portuguese international Jose Maria Pedroto consider the genius, the made the Porto of today
he was ahead of all the coach's at least 30 years, many coach's of today like Jaime Pacheco, Jose Mota, Antonio Sousa, Cajuda, Manuel Jose, Jesualdo Ferreira, his son Bernardino Pedroto, still use his style of coach

 

who was better Porto player ever, Cubillas or Madjer?

 

I do, in the final game

 

nor taking anything away from this guys, he was one step ahead, he couldn't walk in the streets without been mob, just unbeliable
and he came into Porto when the club needed a lift captain Pavao had just died on the field

Jardel - couln't shine Cubillas shoes
Fernando Gomes - could only score in Portugal

Joao Pinto the best RD ever, Veloso a distance second

Deco great but not a Cubillas

Hernani [Porto ] was better then Gomes,

 

my favorite all time foreigner players ever in Portugal

1. Cubillas
2. Madjer
3. Yazalde

 

he was the Eusebio of Peru, and he was a fantastick player for FC Porto,

here is another thread with all of the respect for Cublillas
