Chapter 415: Sworn enemies in the same city

Maritimo defeated Sporting de Portugal, and the happiest people besides the Maritimo fans were the Benfica fans.

Sporting and Benfica are rivals in Lisbon and one of the top three in the Portuguese Super League.

The feud between the two teams has lasted for a hundred years.

Like all rivals in the city, the rivalry between the two clubs continues from inside the stadium to off the pitch.

There's a story that illustrates the rivalry between the two clubs.

Manchester United midfielders Nemanja Matic and Fernando Fernandes are from Lisbon City's two biggest clubs. Although the two have a good relationship in private, they often make fun of each other with their old clubs.

Nemanja Matic played for Benfica before coming to Manchester United, while Fernandes played for Sporting before joining Manchester United.

Last season, Benfica were even better in the league, leading Sporting by 17 points, with Matic telling Fernandes: "You can see that there is always a gap between Sporting and Benfica. ”

For such a provocation, B Fei naturally took it to heart.

In the second day's training confrontation, B Fei played unusually hard and led his side to victory over Nemanja Matic's side.

In line with the principle of revenge as soon as possible, he "responded" to Matic on social media: "Matic is right, this is the difference between the winning side and the losing side!" ”

This is true for players who have played for both teams, let alone fans of both clubs.

On the night of the Portuguese sporting fiasco, Benfica fans celebrated in Lisbon City.

In recent years, due to the exodus of a large number of outstanding players trained by Portuguese sports, they have been overpowered by Benfica in terms of competitive performance. Since the establishment of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting de Portugal has never won the league championship, and has always been the "two-man turn" of Benfica and Porto.

Therefore, the fans of Sporting Portugal are quite unable to raise their heads, and they will be ridiculed by Benfica fans if they have nothing to do.

This time, naturally, it was difficult to escape the fate of being ridiculed.

"Poor Sporting Portugal, I hope you can keep your fifth place!"

Last season, Sporting finished fourth and was even overtaken by Braga in the standings. This season, another Maritimo has emerged, and the position of Sporting Portugal is in jeopardy.

"Stop scolding Sporting Portugal! Let's watch and cherish it, at the current rate of decline, in a few years, you will have to go to the Portuguese League to see them! ”

"Sporting Portugal was beaten by Maritimo! I feel so sad to be a mortal enemy with such a bad team! ”

"Sporting Portugal, don't embarrass Lisbon City, disband!"

……

Not only did the fans sneer, but even the club's officials jumped out and laughed.

posted this news on the official Facebook account:

"If you have a friend who is unhappy today, depressed and even secretly crying, please be kind to him, because he is probably a fan of Sporting de Portugal and just watched a game like!"

And Benfica coach George Jesus also timely sprinkled a handful of salt on the wounds of his sworn enemies in the city.

In an interview with Lisbon – 14 TV, he was unceremoniously commented: "It was not a surprise that Sporting lost to first-placed Maritimo, but it was the sluggish form and negativity they showed on the pitch. Obviously, Coach Amorim is once again plagued by the FIFA virus, but for whatever reason, playing so poorly is a bit unreasonable! ”

In the face of the cynicism of their rivals in the same city, the fans of Sporting de Portugal were naturally furious and ridiculed each other.

"What's so great about Benfica! Do you think you're Maritimo's opponent? ”

"We lost to Maritimo, but how much better would it be for you? Maybe you'll lose even more! ”

"Compared to the previous contest with Benfica, I think Maritimo is a more difficult opponent to deal with!"

……

Benfica fans are not to be outdone.

"Maritimo is something, a weak team that was almost relegated last season!"

"The reason why Maritimo was able to steal the first place is not because the previous opponents were all rubbish like Sporting Portugal!"

"We're going to play Maritimo next round, open your eyes and see how we're teaching them!"

……

In this way, the fans of both sides quarreled and started a scolding war, but they unexpectedly pushed the innocent Maritimo to the target.

The so-called "lying gun" is probably like this!

Watching the online scolding war continue to escalate, Benfica coach Giorgio . Jesus was dissatisfied.

Speaking of which, this scolding war also contributed to his "big mouth". For this reason, he was warned by the club's board of directors to be careful when speaking in the future.

Despite being in his 60s, George Jesus was still a fiery temper. In his own words, "If you don't have a football person, you can't do football!" ”

After being reprimanded by the board, instead of self-reflection, he blamed the incompetence of Sporting de Portugal and the arrogance of Maritimo.

For a reservoir dog like Sporting Portugal, he doesn't mind kicking again, but the other party is like a bear, and he has nothing to brag about if he wins.

So he turned his interest to Maritimo.

Maritimo defeated Sporting de Portugal away from home, and if his team wins Maritimo again, it will naturally trample the city's sworn enemies under their feet!

The board of directors let themselves pay attention to their words and deeds, and they held back their grievances and had nowhere to vent, and when they won the game, what they said at the press conference, the club couldn't control it!

So, two weeks later, against Maritimo in the league, I had to win!

George Jesus thought that during the two weeks of training, he would arrange the deployment of training subjects and conduct targeted training according to the characteristics of Maritimo. Moreover, the requirements in training are extremely strict, which makes the Benfica players inexplicable, I don't know what their coach has with Maritimo, why is it so bitter and hateful!

Even in order to confuse the opponent tactically, George Jesus deliberately hid part of the main force in the league, arranged a tactical play that is not usually used, and finally narrowly defeated the weak Morerence 2:1.

In the same round of the league, Maritimo beat Bilaneises 4:0 and continued to consolidate his position at the top of the Portuguese Super League.

Two weeks passed quickly.

A much-anticipated battle of the Portuguese Super League is about to take place at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.

Maritimo is a guest in Lisbon and challenges Benfica, the "second" in the "Portuguese Super League Semi-Final"!
