EUSEBIO
1960-75
Forward
440 apps, 473 goals
The most famous Benfica player ever and one of the best players of all time. Nicknamed the "Black Panther" Eusebio won 11 league titles, 5 Portuguese Cups and 1 European Cup while at Benfica but individually he won the Ballon D'or in 1965 and was the first winner of the European Golden Boot in 1968 but that is just 2 of dozens of individual awards. Look him up on wikipedia lol. Although born in Mozambique he played 64 times for Portugal, scoring 41 goals. Naturally he is Benfica's record goalscorer.

Supertaca
Lineup - Cerqueira, Dias (Morato), Ferro, Sebahattin Sahinoglu, Luis, Camara*, Sanches, Antony, Felix (Almada), Everton, Dembele (Petric)
I had no left backs of any sort going into this match so did a makeshift 3-1-2-3-1 formation which was a bit harsh on Nelson Semedo who just didnt fit into the formation. Despite playing such a foreign tactic we dominated throughout yet only won by the 1 goal as Everton tapped in on the goal line after the ball came off the bar. Sanches got sent-off late on but that didnt have any effect.
Porto in the summer appointed Neil Lennon as their new manager - I aint quaking in my boots lol.

An easy win in the first league game of the season. Ronaldo Camara got things underway and Embalo along with Dembele got the other two.

Well now. No 100% record for us here and with 3 goals conceded that is a 3rd of the league goals that we conceded last term. The fact that my own player, Joao Resende, scored against us is a sore point but if I look at the plus points both Antony and Petric got their first goals for the club.
Nelson Semedo got injured before the match so Tomas Tavares will get an extended run in the side.

We bounce back with a victory. We could have scored far more and Dias had a goal disallowed but I am quite happy with 3 goals and a clean sheet.

4-0 is always a nice result. Ronaldo Camara yet again ran the show and popped up with a goal while Embalo impressed too as he has got a little run in the side after Everton got injured.

SUMMARY
Such is the standards that we have set that this month is seen as a disappointing month as we drew 3-3 with Pacos de Ferreira. The fact that one of my own starlets, Joao Resende, scored against me didnt go unnoticed in the media either. However other than that we are looking good. We beat Porto in the Supertaca and won our other 3 league games so everything is good.
I didnt make any other transfers despite having £215m of a transfer budget but I did pre-arrange 2 deals to come in in January and they will be duly sold on.
In the Champions League we have been given a tricky group draw but one in which we should progres.....
