O ex benfiquista Di Maria aparece esta quarta feira em destaque no jornal a Marca, deixando qualquer um de nós a sentir um misto de orgulho com amargo de boca.
A saudade aperta a cada jogo madrileno, perde-se a conta ao sem número de vezes que Di Maria coloca os seus parceiros isolados na cara do guarda redes adversário, impossível anotar o sem número de vezes que o argentino desce no terreno para defender muito ao estilo carraça bem característico do melhor Petit e Derlei.
É portanto natural que Mourinho, os adeptos e a comunicação social se junte a nós no lote de adeptos completamente apaixonados pelo futebol do argentino.
Que falta nos fazias Angelito.
Saudade!

EL ARGENTINO SE CONFIRMA COMO LA MEJOR NOTICIA DEL REAL MADRID

2010, el año Di María

  • · Suma seis goles y 10 asistencias, amenazando los registros (10 y 19) de la temporada 2009-10, el mejor de sus tres cursos en el Benfica

SANTIAGO SIGUERO 28/12/10 - 12:16.
Este branco ficava-te melhor.
Cuando, el 28 de junio de 2010, Real Madrid y Benfica confirmaron el fichaje de Di María por el club español a cambio de 25 millones de euros (más 11 en concepto de variables), muchos se echaron las manos a la cabeza. 25 millones -los mismos que el Madrid ingresó por Arjen Robben, el hombre al que estaba llamado a sustituir- parecían muchos para un futbolista de 22 años avalado 'sólo' por una buena temporada en el Benfica.
Pero, al parecer, José Mourinho tenía información privilegiada. No se puso muy nervioso cuando Di María pasó de puntillas por un Mundial en el que, recordemos, ni siquiera el gran Messi logró brillar con la Argentina de Maradona.
Di María fue una de las tres peticiones expresas de Mou para su Real Madrid, y la única que se cumplió como primera opción. El técnico tenía claro que el equipo debía jugar con bandas, y Di María era el contrapeso ideal para Cristiano. Arrancó la temporada como un fijo en la línea de tres mediapuntas del equipo, casi siempre por la derecha, pero alternando con mucha frecuencia posiciones con Cristiano, y hasta con Özil. Esa segunda línea ha sido, sin duda, lo mejor del Madrid hasta ahora, en especial gracias a la ejecución del contragolpe, la acción ofensiva favorita del equipo.
Con apenas cuatro meses de competición, Di María se ha convertido ya en uno de los ídolos del Bernabéu. Para el madridismo es, sin duda, el fichaje del año. A su descaro, verticalidad y talento ofensivo, el de Rosario está uniendo esa capacidad de sacrificio que tanto gusta en Chamartín. Sergio Ramos y los pivotes lo agradecen. Sin olvidar a un Mourinho que, a principios de temporada, llegó a pedirle más "inteligencia táctica".
Pero Di María es un jugador ofensivo, y como tal se le exigen goles. Los está haciendo, y a un nivel superior al del resto de su carrera. Marcó dos en pretemporada, ante el Hércules y el Peñarol, y suma ya seis en competición oficial -su mejor marca son 10, la pasada temporada, en la que fue elegido mejor jugador de Portugal-. Dianas que han supuesto puntos vitales al Madrid, como los de tres de Champions ante el Auxerre o los tres ante el Sevilla, los últimos cosechados por los blancos en 2010. El año que, aderezado con 10 asistencias -la anterior campaña dio 19 con el Benfica-, ha elevado a Di María al status de figura.

O Benfica lá fora




Interessantíssimo artigo escrito para o conceituado site www.fourfourtwo.com sobre o Benfica.






Broken promises and 'the curious case of Quim' among Benfica's problems




"Before the Portuguese Cup last 16 match against Braga, Benfica manager Jorge Jesus ran the rule over the club’s dismal season. The Eagles currently trail FC Porto by eight points and had to count on Olympique Lyon coming back to hold Hapoel Tel-Aviv last Wednesday evening to ensure the completion of their shaky path to the Europa League. But even if everyone at the club says that the two cups are pretty much in there to be won, internally they should already be planning for next season.
After heavy defeats at the hands of Porto and Hapoel, it seems clear the team is already light years behind their 2009/10 vintage, and serious improvements are required in order for Benfica to reach those performance levels again.
With that in mind, here are the five biggest mistakes they have made since the back-end of last season, all of which they cannot afford to repeat:
1. Keeping unhappy players
David Luiz is not even half the player he was last season. Whether this is because he feels he has already achieved everything he possibly can at the club or because he is still sulking having not been allowed a transfer over the summer we just don‘t know. But the truth is the curly-haired Brazilian defender has been at fault many times this season and has regularly seen criticism land on his doorstep.
Given he was previously such a defensive lynchpin, such a spectacular dip in form clearly doesn’t bode well for Benfica. The only silver lining could be that Brazilian manager Mano Menezes has kept the faith in him, which may act to convince Manchester City that the defender is still worth splashing out a reported €30 million on. At the moment, that would be one helluva’ deal…

David Luiz's form this season has stunk...
2. Selling the most consistent stars
When it comes to departures from Estádio de Luz, Angel Di Maria and Ramires naturally hog the spotlight, but there was also the rather curious case of goalkeeping stalwart Quim.
The veteran had been at the club for some years and was an important figure in the locker room. Like him or loathe him, he was a part of a very reliable backline that conceded just 20 goals in the league last season and the only thing Benfica had to do was to renew his contract. Yet, they allowed it to expire and signed Roberto for €8.5 million. And we all know how well the Spaniard started the season…
3. Making promises they couldn’t keep
After all the euphoria of last season‘s successes, Benfica set their sights on even greater things this term. That included becoming back-to-back championships and producing a strong showing in the Champions League – Jesus would even say at one point that the club was a contender for the competition.
The ice started to crack though when rivals Porto – then underdogs – dominated them at Aveiro in the Super Cup. Unlike the Dragons, Benfica don’t have that knack of winning competitions for several years in a succession, and that early season loss quite possibly represented a psychological blow from which they would fail to recover.
Subsiquently, the Eagles have suffered nine losses in 22 official matches, too many for a club with such high expectations. In hindsight, promising a competitive team in the Champions League was perhaps a tad amateurish.

"I promise we won't lose 3-0 to Hapoel Tel-Aviv...honest"
4. Looking to find a scapegoat
Jesus acknowledged some mistakes while pleading for fans’ support, but he also pointed out that if the refereeing criteria was the same, the difference between the Eagles and the leaders would be smaller.
Earlier this season, the club had also requested supporters not to attend away matches due to the poor refereeing standards.
The problem with burying their heads in the sand in this way is that underlying problems won’t just go away - and when you’re exposed against an average Hapoel Tel Aviv side, you really are in no position to complain of outside factors.
5. Failing to make contingency plans
Everyone at the club was already expecting Di Maria’s departure. What they were hoping for was that industrious midfielder Ramires would stay for one more season, which ultimately proved not to be the case.
While Di Maria’s replacement, Nico Gaitán, has been a disappointment, especially considering his €8.4 million price tag, at least a replacement was recruited - Benfica did nothing to fill the void left by the departing Brazilian. In the end, due to the perceived lack of width, the club switched to a 4-4-2 diamond formation with Carlos Martins and Pablo Aimar often playing together. That itself poses another problem because the duo, while talented, are often plagued by injuries and fluctuations in form.
Now, the Eagles are left with two choices: Getting a Ramires-type player in the inflated January transfer window or risk waiting until the summer and hope there will be more money available."
