Maritimo defeated Sporting Lisbon, and besides Maritimo fans, the happiest people are the fans of Benfica.
Sporting Lisbon and Benfica are Lisbon's rivals in the same city, and both are among the top three in the Portuguese Super League.
The grievances between the two teams have lasted for a hundred years.
Like all rivals in the same city, the rivalry between the two clubs has continued on and off the pitch.
There is a story that can well illustrate the competitive relationship between the two clubs.
Manchester United midfielder Matic and B Fee (Bruno Fernandez) are from the two giants of Lisbon City.Although the two have a good relationship in private, they often make fun of each other with their old club.
Matic played for Benfica before coming to Manchester United, and B Fee played for Sporting Portugal before joining Manchester United.
Last season, Benfica performed even better in the league. They led the Portuguese sports with 17 points. Matic said to B fee: "It can be seen that there is always some gap between the Portuguese sports and Benfica."
For such a provocation, B Fei naturally kept it in mind.
In the training confrontation on the second day, B Fei worked extremely hard and led his side to defeat Matic's side.
Based on the principle of taking revenge as early as possible, he "responded" Matic on social media: "Matic is right, this is the gap between the winning side and the losing side!"
This is true for players who have played for the two teams, let alone fans of the two clubs.
On the night of Sporting Lisbon's fiasco, the Benfica fans celebrated in Lisbon.
In recent years, due to the exodus of outstanding players trained by Sporting Portugal, they have been overwhelmed by Benfica in terms of competitive performance.Since the establishment of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting has never been involved in the league championship, and has always been the "two-player" between Benfica and Porto.
Therefore, the fans of Sporting Lisbon are quite embarrassed, and they will be ridiculed by Benfica fans if they have nothing to do.
This time, naturally, it was impossible to escape the fate of being ridiculed.
"Poor Sporting Lisbon, I hope you can keep the No.5 position!"
Last season, Sporting Lisbon only achieved No.4 results, and was even surpassed by Braga in the standings.This season, another Maritimo has emerged, and the status of Sporting Lisbon is in jeopardy.
"Don't scold Sporting Portugal! Just watch and cherish it. According to the current rate of decline, in a few years, you have to go to the Portuguese League to watch them!"
"Sporting Lisbon was defeated by Maritimo! I am really sad to be a sworn enemy with such a bad team!"
"Sporting Portugal, don't embarrass Lisbon City, disband!"
……
Not only the fans ridiculed, but even the club officials jumped out and laughed.
On the official account of FACEBOOK, such a news was sent:
"If you have a friend who is unhappy today, very depressed, or even secretly crying, please treat him well, because he is probably a Portuguese sports fan and just watched a game like shit!"
And Benfica coach Jorge Jesus (Jorge Jesus) also timely sprinkled a handful of salt on the wounds of his rivals in the same city.
In an interview with Lisbon-14 TV station, he commented unceremoniously: "It is not surprising that Sporting Portugal lost to the No. [-] Maritimo. What is surprising is their sluggish state and negative attitude on the field. Obviously, coach Amorim is troubled by the FIFA virus again. However, no matter what the reason, playing so poorly is somewhat unjustifiable!"
Faced with the cynicism of the rivals in the same city, the fans of Sporting Portugal were naturally furious and retorted.
"What's so great about Benfica! Do you think you are Maritimo's opponent?"
"We lost to Maritimo, but would it be any better for you? Maybe you will lose more!"
"Compared to the previous contest with Benfica, I think Maritimo is a more difficult opponent!"
……
Benfica fans are not to be outdone.
"What is Maritimo, a weak team that was almost relegated last season!"
"The reason why Maritimo can steal the first place is not because the previous opponents are all waste like Portuguese sports!"
"We are going to face Maritimo in the next round, open your eyes and watch how we teach them a lesson!"
……
In this way, the fans on both sides began to fight with each other, but accidentally pushed the innocent Maritimo to the target of public criticism.
The so-called "lying gun" is probably the case!
Watching the escalation of the scolding war on the Internet, Benfica coach George Jesus was very dissatisfied.
Speaking of which, this scolding battle also contributed to his "big mouth".For this reason, he was warned by the club's board of directors, telling him to be more careful when he speaks in the future.
Despite being in his 60s, George Jesus is still a fiery character.In his own words, "Football players have no personality, so they can't do football well!"
After he was admonished by the board of directors, instead of self-reflection, he attributed the problem to the incompetence of Portuguese sports and the arrogance of Maritimo.
He doesn't mind giving another kick to a laggard like Sporting Lisbon, but the other side is like this, and he has nothing to brag about if he wins.
So he turned his interest on Maritimo.
Maritimo beat Sporting Lisbon in the away game, and if his team wins Maritimo again, wouldn't it be natural to step on the city's rivals?
The board of directors told me to pay attention to my words and deeds. I was full of grievances and had nowhere to vent. When I won the game, what I said at the press conference would be beyond the club's control!
So, two weeks later, in the league game against Maritimo, I must win!
George Jesus wanted to do it. During the two weeks of training, he will arrange and deploy training subjects and carry out targeted training based on the characteristics of Maritimo.Moreover, the requirements are extremely strict during training, which makes the Benfica players bewildered. They don't know what kind of feud their coach has with Maritimo, and why they are so bitter and bitter!
Even in order to confuse opponents tactically, George Jesus deliberately hid some of the main players in the league and arranged a set of tactics that are not commonly used. In the end, he narrowly defeated Morelence, who was not strong, 2:1.
In the same round of the league, Maritimo defeated Belenises 4:0, continuing to consolidate his position at the top of the Portuguese Super League.
Two weeks passed quickly.
A much-anticipated battle in the Portuguese Super League will be held at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.
Maritimo is a guest in Lisbon, away to challenge the "second" Benfica in the "Portuguese Super Top Three"!
