Benfica skipper Luisao has urged fans to support the team ahead of their title run with League leaders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186.
The Reds’ have had a topsy-turvy campaign this time around, which has been full of twists and turns.
For the better part of the last six, seven months, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus’ side remained supreme and were on top of the Primeira Liga table. However a bad patch of form suddenly erupted with the turn of the year and the club eventually lost their considerable lead
at the top with a deciding game at Estadio da Luz.
Now currently ranked 2nd, they are looking to close the game between them and their arch-rivals, however things aren’t that simple as they appear.
The season is concluding shortly and only a handful of games remain before the trophy is lifted either by the Portistas or the Lisbon giants.
Given how things have been in the past few weeks, it looks certain to be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira’s men, who have also come a long way in reaching the top.
The new tactician was burdened with expectations when he took over at Estadio do Dragao, but he was able to master his problems and eventually led the talented team to successive wins, including an injury time snatching of the three points at the Stadium
of Light.
Luisao, though, is confident that he and his teammates can turn around things and has asked the ever loyal Benfiquistas to get behind the team, now that they need their support the most.
"As captain, I ask the fans to come to the stadium and support us because all the players give everything on the field for Benfica and they honor the shirt.”
He also added that everyone at the helm was proud to be associated with the Liga Sagres outfit and played their heart out whenever they took to the field.
“The players are happy to represent the club and the fans should encourage them for this throughout the 90 minutes," the Brazilian was quoted as saying before the game with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Braga-c40460.
Benfica take on the Archbishops on the 31st of March, with the aim of securing three points, as nothing other than that will be able to keep the pressure on Porto.
