Benfica Champions League chances ?

Benfica have 3 stars one in each area of the pitch CB Ruben Dias Midfield Florentino Striker Vinicius, Greatness can be achieved but big changes and financial support need to be achieved. The board have already guaranteed a large transfer budget the fact there will be no International tournaments helps us greatly as Jesus just spent a year in Brazil essentially scouting the country and some areas of the continent we can find high quality players that would normally go for much more than the norm.

In order to make a serious run in the champions league Benfica would have to drop the dead weight/peaked players ex. Andre Almerda, Grimaldo, Weigl, Samaris, Taarbt etcetera the names go on and on perhaps even Pizzi if a suitable replacement at a younger age can be found someone like Rony Lopes.

Smart money moves would involve playing youth players who are good enough and not critical areas of the pitch like fullback playing Nuno Tavares and Tomas Tavares at fullback can help to spend the transfer in critical areas of the pitch that need serious investment like attacking midfield and a partner for Carlos Vinicius.

Would basically require a Bernardo Silva and Joao Felix level players this will never happen. Maybe we can shit out 1 of 2 but not 2. Jesus is close to god but not close enough.

 

Yes of course I have youth training credentials but not at your level, I was detained as a young lad and was sentenced to community service as part of my parole I ended up coaching young kids and fell in love with it and continue to help troubled young teens till this day.

 

Just a slight correction coach I think you are referring to Rodrigo, Chico plays for FC Porto. Chico indeed does look like a promising player Rodrigo on the other hand is already 20 years of age and I don't have high hopes for him.
