Benfica coach Jorge Jesus has heralded the brand of football that his side plays and said that his team took risks that often paid off.
Ever since taking over at Estadio da Luz in 2009, Jorge Jesus has instilled an attacking mentality in the players and the result of that has been there for all to see in the past few seasons.
The tactician guided the Reds to a double during his maiden campaign, which consisted of the Primeira Liga and the Portuguese Cup. Although in the 2010/2011 term, he missed out on the title, the coach was still able to retain the Portuguese Cup he won a
year ago.
This time around Benfica have been in superb form and have yet to lose a game in Liga Sagres. Currently riding on top of the table, they are ahead of rivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 and are set to win the League yet again.

With the arrival of the two relative youngsters, the Eagles have been hard to stop and find themselves in a good position in Europe as well. Having secured their qualification to the knock-out stages of the UEFA Champions League, the club are set for an
exciting finale to the season.
Their ominous position this term has been due to their attacking tactics and the trainer was keen to reiterate this point.
Speaking to reporters, he said that his side had become synonymous with fluid, attacking football and he believed that going forward was the best form of defence.
"It is quite positive to hear that the team is synonymous with goals amongst the fans. More victories can only bring more peace and help us win championships. We always look at the game with a much more offensive strategy than defensive. We are a team that
takes risks,” Jorge Jesus was quoted as saying.
With his model of attacking philosophy, Benfica have become a true force to be reckoned with and will be on their way to secure yet another Primeira Liga trophy if they can maintain their current momentum.
