Benfica ganha ao Setúbal com fraca exibição

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Benfica 1 - 0 V. Setúbal


Mais de 50.000 pessoas ao vivo mereciam um jogo melhor

O Benfica ganhou ao Setúbal com um golo marcado aos 25' por Anderson de cabeça após canto da esquerda marcado por Miccoli. Mas a multidão (51.500 espectadores) que esteve na Luz não pôde sair satisfeita após um jogo tão fraquinho.

O Benfica sem Simão e Nuno Gomes lesionados ( com Robert e Geovanni fora dos convocados) apresentou-se com três centrais (Anderson, Luisão e Ricardo Rocha) e três médios defensivos (Beto, Petit e Manuel Fernandes) restando Léo a médio esquerdo, Marco Ferreira à direita, Miccoli na frente e Manduca no apoio ao ponta de lança.

Raras oportunidades de golo, jogo sem chama, sem vivacidade, sem alegria.

Na segunda parte o jogo ainda foi pior porque enxameado de faltas que não existiram na primeira. Um Benfica de menos ainda assim esteve perto do 2º. golo por Léo (57') que fez um chapéu sobre Robinho mas Auri perto da linha de baliza tirou a bola ainda contra a barra evitando o 2-0. As substituições em ambos os lados (Karagounis em vez de Marco Ferreira e Mantorras para o lugar de Manduca aos 83') não deram nada de novo ao jogo ainda que o Vitória tenha procurado ameaçar mais com a entrada de Songou, o que também não resultaria.

Referencia apenas para a estreia de João Coimbra que entrou já perto do fim do jogo a substituir Miccoli.

Em jogo tão fácil o árbitro Soares Dias na segunda parte pareceu querer complicar

O Estrela da Amadora ao derrotar em casa o último classificado garantiu a manutenção. De resto, a Jornada 33, não decidiu nada. Mas o 2º. classificado será o Sporting desde que não perca em casa frente ao Braga. O Nacional até pode perder se o novo campeão não perder no Bessa para garantir a presença na Taça Uefa e na luta pela permaência, são seis as equipas - Belenenses, Académica, Gil Vicente, Naval, Rio Ave e V. Guimarães – que vão jogar na última jornada a derradeira cartada para continuar no escalão principal do futebol português. O Paços de Ferreira já não faz parte destas contas porque a Naval podendo chegar aos 39 pontos se ganhar em Penafiel perde no desempate directo frente aos pacenses. Mas uma coisa é certa: na melhor das hipóteses uma das duas equipas Guimarães ou Rio Ave descerá, sendo mais provável que desçam as duas mesmo que ganhem os últimos jogos: Guimarães com o Estrela, o Rio Ave vai a Leiria. A Naval depende de uma vitória em Penafiel para se salvar ficando à espera do resultado Gil Vicente-Belenenses. Nesse caso o empate neste jogo não serve o Gil Vicente. Se o Gil Vicente ganha ao Belenenses, desceria o Belenenses que perde no confronto directo com a Naval. Issso continuem a fazer contas (em vez de jogarem futebol!)...

Eleições no Sporting e o presidente é ...

Logo do Sporting Club de PortugalFecharam as urnas no processo eleitoral do Sporting Club de Portugal que conduzìrá à eleição do 35º. Presidente. Num universo eleitoral de 43.229 votantes, foram 8.100 (53.676 votos) os sócios que exerceram o seu direito de voto. Uma razoável afluência, mas muito longe da registada em 1988, quando Jorge Gonçalves foi eleito (17.093 votantes). O ex-Presidente da República Jorge Sampaio foi um dos que exerceu o seu direito de voto.

Competiram três listas tendo como Presidentes da Direcção, Filipe Soares Franco, Abrantes Mendes e Guilherme Neves.

Decorre ainda o escrutínio.
Última Hora: E a Soares Franco sucede ... Soares Franco! A lista A liderada pelo Presidente demissionário, ganhou (com vantagem clara) as eleições do Sporting.

Meais Finais play-off Basketball : Benfica na frente

Benfica 106 - 69 Ginásio Figueirense

Vitória robusta e fácil do Benfica por 37 pontos de vantagem no 1º. jogo dos play-off das meias-finais do Campeonato Nacional de Basquetebol. O resultado diz tudo e é significativo duma superioridade que não se esperava nesta fase do campeonato. Recorde-se que o Benfica nos quartos de final da prova afastou a Oliveirense por 3-1 enquanto o Ginásio inverteu o 0-2 com o Porto triunfando por 3-2.

No dia 30 de Abril também na Luz disputa-se o 2º. jogo. Refeira-se que a equipa que ganhar à melhor de 5 (ou seja a equipa que atinja três vitórias) tem acesso à final.

No primeiro jogo da outra meia-final já disputado ontem a Ovarense batera o Queluz por 85-79.

Destaques nas efemérides do dia

Este dia 28 de Abril tem muito a ver com ditadores históricos. Senão vejamos:

  1. No ano de 1889 nascia em Santa Comba Dão, António de Oliveira Salazar, lídimo representante do Estado Novo e da ditadura fascista em Portugal derrubada em 25 de Abril de 1974, então já comandada por Marcelo Caetano. Desde 1928 no Governo, primeiro como Ministro das Finanças e desde 1932 até 1968 como Presidente do Conselho, sucedendo-lhe o já referido Marcelo Caetano. Faleceu em Lisboa em 27 de Julho de 1970.
  2. No ano de 1937 nascia Saddam Hussein. Teve papel preponderante no golpe que colocou no poder o partido Ba'ath em 1968 sob a Presidencia do General Ahmed Bakr, de quem era Vice-Presidente. Tomou a presidencia em 1979 até 2003.
  3. No ano de 1945 Benito Mussolini ("The Duce"), o ditador italiano fundador do fascismo, apanhado na véspera quando pretendia fugir para a Suiça, morria executado por resistentes italianos (n. 29 Jul 1883).

Resta-nos para compensar a recordação da tristeza e sofrimento que estas figuras sinistras da História Mundial provocaram, saudar e apreciar a beleza das celebridades /actrizes nascidas em 28 de Abril: Penelope Cruz - (no ano de 1974 em Madrid) e de Jessica Alba ( em 1981, em Pomona, California, USA ).

A grandiosidade do Benfica (II)

A grandiosidade do Benfica nota-se e é reconhecida pelos seus adversários mesmo quando desportivamente o Benfica perde. Os recentes festejos do título do Porto começados antecipadamente relativamte à hora certa, (sob várias perspectivas: antes do jogo de Penafiel ter acabado) e requerendo a invenção dum penalty para ganhar ao último classificado, e continuados depois do jogo e pela noite fora como legitimamente , diga-se aliás, se compreende seja qual for o clube, mostra isso mesmo.
O Benfica é a referencia, o Benfica surge mesmo nos slogans dos adversários. Dos adeptos já sabíamos, dos jogadores é muito mais estranho : "SLB SLB SLB filhos da puta SLB" !
SLB filhos da puta ??? Que slogan é esse? SLB quer dizer Sport Lisboa e Benfica!
Mas se querem alguma imaginação e o respeito pela língua portuguesa no que toca ao uso de iniciais então sempre poderão dizer FCP FCP FCP fillhos clube da puta!

Middlesbrough na final da Taça Uefa

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Middlesbrough 4 - 2 Steaua Bucuresti

Loucura no Riverside Stadium: de 0-2 para 4-2

Manifesta superioridade do Steaua a demonstrar elevada capacidade tecnica e a dominar os acontecimentos em quase toda a primeira parte e só quem não via o jogo podia estar surpreendido com o resultado de 0-2 que se estabelecia ao minuto 24' com um golo de Goian. Já antes ao minuto 16' Dica havia feito o 0-1.

A juntar ao 1-0 na Roménia o Middlesbrough passava a ter que marcar 4 golos (e não sofrer nenhum) para chegar à final. Coisa verdadeiramente impensável. Logo a seguir entrava Maccarone saindo Southgate e o recém-entrado aos 33' fazia o 1-2. O jogo mudava agora de figura e eram os locais que atacavam tendo por Viduca ainda tido oportunidades para fazer o 2-2 até ao intervalo.

Na segunda parte os romenos apareceram só para defender. E foi a morte do artista. Aos 55' a segunda substituição ofemsiva nos ingleses com a entrada de Ayegbeni para a saida de Andrew Taylor. Carlos guarda-redes português do Steaua mostrava alguma insegurança mas ia defendendo os remates de Viduka; porém aos 64' num cruzamento aéreo Viduka (em clara falta sobre um defesa) fazia o 2-2 e o público passou a acreditar.

Uma equipa atacava num estilo tipicamente inglês e os visitantes só defendiam aglomerados na área com a agravante de um jogo aéreo muito deficiente. Aos 67' Dica recebe amarelo por jogar com a bola com a mão e fica afastado da presença na final. Mas não foi só ele! Aos 73' Rigott numa recarga a defesa incompleta (mas pouco mais podia ter feito) de Carlos a remate cruzado da esquerda fez o 3-2 e o inferno convertia-se em céu. Havia ainda cerca de 20' para marcar o golo da vitória, que ocorreria ao minuto 89' de cabeça por Macarrone. Grande loucura. Jogo impensável. Mas um final à Hitchcock ainda esteve para acontecer porque os romenos em tempos de desconto estiveram perto de fazer o 4-3 e ainda disfrutaram de um livre perigosíssimo que não daria nada

O treinador romeno parece que não viu o Middlesbrough - Basileia em que os ingleses viraram o 0-1 inicial (a juntar à derrota forasteira) para 4-1. Agora a recuperação ainda foi mais expressiva.

Os ingleses vão jogar a final com o Sevilla vencedor do Schalke com um golo no prolongamento de Antonio Puerta depois da repetição do 0-0 da 1ª. mão no final dos noventa minutos.
