Braga confirmado no comando. Sporting empata

Sporting 1 - 1 V. Setúbal

O Sporting não conseguiu bater o V. Setúbal que vai em quatro jogos consecutivos em Alvalada sem perder. O Sporting começou bem o jogo a chegar à baliza setubalense com muita facilidade, mas sem eficácia. Liedson aos 15´disfrutou da 1ª. grande oportunidade do jogo mas atrapalhou-se com a bola. Aos 17' P. Barbosa passa o g. redes mas, já descaído pela direita, remata por cima.

Aos 22' quase golo na própria baliza, de cabeça um defesa vitoriano faz um grande remate, para uma defesa estupenda de Paulo Ribeiro. A meio da 1ª.parte o Vitória melhorou nas marcações ao meio campo e a pressão do Sporting diminuiu. Posse de bola mas agora sem a facilidade de chegar à baliza. No entanto, o resultado manteve-se 0-0 devido a mais outra excelente defesa do g, redes a remate de Rochemback. Foi também nos últimos minutos que o Vitória teve a única oportunidade por Jorginho que fez um chapéu longo a Ricardo, sendo Enakharire que afastou a bola da baliza.

Na segunda parte o Vitória reapareceu melhor a equilibrar o jogo e até ganhou avanço no marcador através dum golo sensacional de Jorginho (um chapéu espectacular) aos 51'. Adivinhava-se dificuldades maiores para o Sporting, mas após poucos minutos de abalo psicológico o Sporting igualou na sequência de um canto, com auto-golo de Auri. Erro colectivo inadmissível da defesa vitoriana que não estava concentrada quando Pedro Barbosa marcou o canto. A partir daqui o domínio do Sporting foi total e chegou a ser asfixiante. Liedson desperdiçou várias oportunidades, uma delas já sem guarda redes na baliza (na única falha deste que largou uma bola rematada de longe). O Vitória assistiu com alívio ao apito final de Hélio Santos, que fez uma boa arbitragem.

Melhor jogador em campo: Paulo Ribeiro (g. redes do Setúbal).

O Braga assume o comando da classificação, tem 36 pontos, o Sporting é segundo com 35, Porto, Benfica e Boavista têm todos 34 e Marítimo é 6º. com 30 pontos. Campeonato louco!

Couceiro - de Setubal para o Porto

Tudo indica que José Couceiro seja o novo treinador do Porto.

Fernandez saiu

Fernandez já não é o treinador do FC Porto. Falta saber ainda quem será o 3º. treinador da época.

Benfica apresentou Delibasic

Muitas notícias neste último dia de Janeiro para o futebol português. O Benfica fechou o plantel com a apresentação do jogador da Sérvia-Montenegro, Delibasic, vindo do Maiorca, emprestado, onde não se conseguiu impôr. Trata-se de um avançado de 23 anos e o Benfica terá no final da época direito de opção. O Benfica termina assim as contratações sem conseguir o centro -campista organizador de jogo de que necessita.

Braga comanda - até amanhã ? - 19ª. Jornada

Porto 1 - 3 Sp. Braga

O Sporting de Braga derrotou o FC Porto no campo deste e confirmou a sua candidatura ao título da Superliga portuguesa. O Braga veio ao Estádio do Dragão jogar no campo todo e inaugurou o marcador por João Tomás, de cabeça, aos na sequência de um pontapé de canto. O Porto continuava num jogo de troca de bola, mas sem profundidade. O treinador faz sair Bosingwa para entrar Cláudio Pitbull, mas o Porto não criava oportunidades. Foi uma mudança de velocidade de Seitaridis que provocou uma grande penalidade feita por Nem, que se precipitou. O empate foi obtido por Diego na conversão do penalty. Todavia o empate não demorou muito tempo, porque aos 41' na marcação de um livre o Braga chegou de novo à vantagem de cabeça por Wender em posição duvidosa em termos de legalidade . Já antes aos 38' e 39' Wender isolado (assustou-se com a saída de Vítor Baía) e João Tomás (defesa de Baía com os pés), respectivamente, tinham falhado a oportunidade de repôr o Braga no comando.

Na 2ª. parte o Porto passou a comandar o jogo em termos territoriais fazendo recuar o Braga que já não conseguia ter a bola para jogar, mas a ineficácia portista mantinha-se, sem sequer obrigar Paulo Santos a intervenções difíceis. Quando se pensava, ainda que sem jogar bem -longe disso - o Porto podia empatar na sequência da sua postura de ataque, o jogo ficou decidido aos 75´ quando após um contra-ataque Vítor Baía pontapeia a bola contra o corpo de João Tomás e a bola caminha para a baliza portista concretizando-se o 1-3. Depois, bem... a indisciplina do Porto mais uma vez vem ao de cima, com Maniche que entrara para substitur Leo Lima (66') , a ter uma entrada violenta que o árbitro pune bem com cartão vermelho directo, aos 84'. O desnorte dos portistas foi evidente, agora com os adeptos a manifestarem-se negativamente, e foi o Braga que esteve perto por duas vezes de fazer o 1-4.

Arbitragem complicativa de Bruno Paixão, muito permissivo disciplinarmente na 1º. parte com entradas de jogadores portistas (Costinha aos 5' sobre João Alves e Pepe aos 21') e uma cotovelada de Pedro Emanuel (40') passou sem punição. O assistente que acompanhou o ataque do Porto na 2º. parte também trocou um canto a favor dos portistas, numa jogada de Diego, por um pontapé de baliza para o Braga.

Melhor jogador: Jorge Luiz

Boavista 2 - 2 Gil Vicente

O Boavista não consegui materializar no resultado a vantagem evidenciada em caudal de jogo ofensivo e teve que recuperar duas vezes no resultado para não ser derrotado, sendo o 2-2 marcado já aos 86' por Hugo Almeida. De destacar negativamente as jogadas de cotovelo que parece terem pegado moda no futebol português.

Moreirense 1 - 2 Benfica (19ª. Jornada)

O Benfica voltou aos triunfos na Superliga Portuguesa ao derrotar em Guimarães o Moreirense por 1-2 com 0-2 ao intervalo.

Aos 5' o Moreirense beneficiou de um livre perigoso mas Nuno Gomes afastou para canto. Praticamente na 1º. jogada de ataque do Benfica, Simão adiantou pela esquerda ganhando espaço ao seu adversário directo e na linha de fundo fez um centro de pé esquerdo que bateu a defesa do Moreirense, guarda-redes inclusivé, para Nuno Gomes finalizar de cabeça para o primeiro golo do jogo. O Moreirense procurou reagir, conseguiu bastantes pontapés de canto (ao intervalo eram 9-1 em cantos!) mas foi o Benfica que na sequência de uma excelente jogada colectiva chegou ao 0-2. João Pereira centrou para a entrada da grande área Nuno Gomes de cabeça assistiu Nuno Assis que driblou o guarda-redes e fez o seu primeiro golo pelo seu novo clube.

No início da 2ª. parte o Moreirense fez entrar Afonso Martins e Armando, estando este perto de reduzir quando rematou sem preparação em jeito de pontapé de bicicleta ao poste da baliza do Benfica. O Benfica aparecia agora mais recuado e a jogar em contra-ataque, tendo o 0-3 à vista aos 51'. Aos 60' o Moreirense esgotou as substituições com a entrada de Eriverton. Infelizmente para o Moreirense pouco depois Luís Vouzela (1º amarelado do jogo aos 50') sofreu lesão muscular e o Moreirense passou a jogar com dez. Pensava-se que o Benfica teria o jogo dominado conseguindo um período de bastante maior posse de bola, mas à redução de um jogador do Moreirense respondeu o Benfica com as peças do meio campo a revelarem o cansaço do jogo de 4ª. feira. Trapatonni mexeu na equipa aos 70' saindo Giovanni para a entrada de Carlitos, mas este não esteve feliz. Aos 74' na sequência de um canto o 12º contra o Benfica, Armando, de cabeça na marca de penalty desvia a bola para um golo 1-2 que intranquilizou os adeptos encarnados e fez acreditar os moreirenses. Aos 77' Nuno Gomes teve a possibilidade de fazer o 1-3 tirou o g. redes mas depois rematou já em desiquilibrio, ao lado da baliza. Aos 85' outra grande oportunidade para o Benfica por Nuno Assis para defesa com os pés de João.O Benfica ainda fez entrar Mantorras para o lugar de Nuno Assis, mas o objectivo era deixar correr o tempo. O jogo terminou com alívio para os encarnados, que pretendiam capitalizar os benefícios da vitória na Taça de Portugal, mas que acabam de ganhar com justiça mas com alguns sobressaltos que poderia ter evitado.

A arbitragem não teve problemas, deixando jogar, mas cometeu alguns lapsos entre os quais se inclui um fora de jogo mal assinalado a Nuno Assis após assistência de Bruno Aguiar.

Melhor jogador em campo: Nuno Assis que fez uma muito boa estreia.

Académica 0 - 2 V. Guimarães - 19ª. Jornada

Situação negra na Académica

A Académica acaba de perder em Coimbra por 0-2 e fica em maus lençóis pois pode-se afundar mais no último lugar da Superliga. As estreias de Hugo Leal pela Académica e César Peixoto pelo Vitória eram esperadas e aconteceram. Embora o resultado fosse um cinzento 0-0 quase até aos setenta minutos, as equipas estavam apostadas em jogar para ganhar. Pedro Roma ia adiando o golo do Vitória, mas também Palatsi a seguir a um desperdício de Silva, teve-se de aplicar. A supremacia dos visitantes acabou, no entanto, por se concretizar com golos de Marco Ferreira e Targino.

Arbitragem regular de Paulo Pereira.

As sondagens ... e o Dr. Santana Lopes

O nosso ainda Primeiro Ministro agora atirou-se às sondagens. Como elas têm revelado fracos resultados para o PSD (era de esperar outra coisa?) ameaçou positivamente as empresas de sondagens (com processos judiciais?) caso fique demonstrado que as mesmas o (e ao partido) vêm prejudicando. Não sei é como. Se os fracos resultados se confirmarem ... as sondagens estavam certas e ele lá estará para os reconhecer. Se não se confirmarem, então é porque os resultados foram bons e ... não sei como poderá demonstrar que as sondagens o prejudicaram (até o teriam beneficiado). O que é elucidativo é a perda de confiança generalizada dos portugueses nos políticos revelada, não só, pelas sondagens!
