Benfica - The Football Machine

We have already realized that we had to overcome Benfica tie against Hertha Berlin, would not be difficult, but never thought it would be so simple. Neither was thought that Benfica would win 4-0 ... the result was very impressive.
In the first part only gave Benfica the germans hard time to the maximum, causing the Hertha could not get over the line midfield. And round he could have been resolved in the first half as Benfica failed to make a handful of opportunities he had, including a ball hit the post after 40 minutes of play at the foot of incredible Saviola could have changed the label .. .

Pressing hard on the wings, with Fabio Coentrão very well integrated into the maneuver offensive team, Benfica managed to make the first 45 minutes almost entirely on the ground of the opponent. Since attacks with tables, throws runs directly penalty area, and trim away ... there was something. Saviola and Aimar in combinations specific to who is able to play with my eyes closed, almost did not need to rip the badge of Cardozo because it was easy to enter the large area. For the life of the germans to become even more complicated, Di Maria began to warm up for the festival that was going to after the interval, overturning a weak opposition that there would by the Hertha.The partr here, the organization's offensive Benfica did everything by itself. Since attacks with tables, throws runs directly penalty area, and trim away...there was something.

Mind you, Hertha could also have changed the outcome, since Raffael could have equalized in the two opportunities he had, the passage of 34 minutes. But the flood of red football game was so strong that neither the germans believed they could avoid the obvious, which was a great defeat.

For the avoidance of doubt, and because it saw that Hertha had more "daring" the range trying to launch attacks in less than 3 minutes of the second-part, Benfica scored. It was the death of the germans and the fate of artists incarnate. The festival of attacking football that has enchanted in the first half continued, and the players of Hertha completely lost, could not stop Benfica a strong, full of rhythm method short in midfield, dribbling and shooting hallucinatory middle-distance, fixed always solutions for reaching the goal post for Hertha. In just over a quarter of an hour, Benfica have won 4-0, showing the football to Europe, the strength of the club of the eagle. Then, Hertha took the single men who managed to smell the red area, backing the team to stop the goals embodied by putting the players touching the defense. But this time Benfica had taken your foot off the accelerator and began to make substitutions to rest some key players to play in the portuguese league. The first goal was scored by Aimar in the 24th minute, the second for Cardozo to 48 minutes, the third for Javi Garcia on 59 minutes, and the fourth by Cardozo for 62 minutes.

So Benfica won 4-0 in the second game of the knockout round of the finals, which was in his total of two games, 5-1. With all these arguments, Benfica has shown that the power that has shown in games, is no coincidence. The coach Jorge Jesus, who said that the priority of the team is to be champions of Portugal, has been very important for all these results as positive. Perhaps it is a surprise, and still attached to the portuguese league, the Europe League Cup... :)
