    Everyone with a brain knows the true reason Sanches didnt succeed in Germany. The coach is Croatian after all....

    I really like the look of Florentino. Wouldn't mind at all if Liverpool took a look at him.

    This is why i am a prodigal mind. He returns and Benfica wins a CL match,

    He would be good in Livepool. Good fit for Barcelona too with Busquets getting older

    I’m not sure he will become as good as William. At best he might reach the level of a petit .

    What does a statement like this even mean? This is a very Trump thing to say. So there is a data base out there that tracks online forum users and compares their rating of young players against eachother, and you are ranked one of the best? Well I guess you are a very stable football genius.

    You're very welcome my man. If everyday I can make one idiot feel good about himself, than well, I feel good about it. So what about that data base?

    My track record is second to none. I have been calling the shots for years and i have an accuracy rate of 74.72 percent (would be higher if not for Renato, but he still has time to fix this) when it comes to projecting youth talents. This sort of efficiency and attention to detail is my forte and has been throughout my life and explains my success in schooling and my career which i still reap the benefits of with each passing year. Honestly when i look back at my life i even inspire myself to keep the drive going, knowing the obstacles i have overcome to get to where i am just drives me to reach greater heights. My son is lucky to not only have half my DNA, but to also have my guidance.

    This started because I've always been curious as to why people make blank and baseless statements, but now it has turned into me realizing you could very well be crazy. Never mind, carry on.

    I rewatched the benfica game.
    Not sure where the hype is for Florentino Luis. He is too small to become a top DM in the modern game.

    What i say isnt blank or baseless. Everything i say has a basis and reason. Remember that.

    Another incredible performance by Florentino. He looks even better when watching the game in person, its then you really admire his genius. My boy told me he saw the game on a spanish stream, and said the commentator was praising him nonstop.

    Following Florentino's loans to Monaco and Getafe, I (he/him) was beginning to doubt my abilities. Although I have had such monumental success in predicting the career trajectories of youth talents, was it possible that I had lost my touch with age and as a result, exited my prime? Could I have been a victim of my own success wherein I lost the work ethic that was key to my career success due to the overconfidence I developed from my prolonged success as a football talent evaluator? It was definitely one of the darkest moments of my life thus far and it even lead to me seeking the guidance of a psychologist. I met with Dr. Susan David (they/them, Harvard graduated psychologist) in March of 2022 to discuss these feelings of self doubt I was experiencing. After performing numerous cognitive and psychological evaluations on me, they assured that they did not believe I was experiencing any form of cognitive decline since I "aced the cognitive test." They described the importance of patience, self-belief, and not letting the RARE failures I experience to negative effect my self-efficacy. They also noted that Florentino is only 22 years old, so my evaluation may still in fact be correct. Fast forward 6 months....and Florentino is now a starter and key player in Roger Schmidt's team. I feel vindicated and am completely grateful for Dr. Susan David's expertise, as without them, I may have given up.

    Just a reminder, it does not make you any less of a man to seek psychiatric help. If you are ever experiencing darkness akin to what I experienced, please do not feel afraid to reach out for professional help. I recommend Dr. Susan David if you are ever in need of a psychologist.

    Thanks.
