He Benfica is in the quarterfinals of Champions League. The Lisbon team endorsed him this Tuesday witches an indisputable 5-1 victory finished the job that started in the first leg in Belgium, which ended 0-2. It didn’t matter much to ‘the Eagles’ who lost Enzo Fernandez in winter and less Darwin Nunez last summer. The group led by Roger Schmidt continues to work and this is no accident.

4-2-3-1 by Roger Schmidt
The Benfica coach is a coach who knows how to maximize the performance of his squad. Studying it carefully, he determined that the best thing for the team was to play an offensive 4-2-3-1, as the main man through the ball. And it works like a charm.

The hatching of Gonçalo Ramos
To him, nobody remembers Darwin Núñez. After the ‘hat-trick’ in the World Cup that made him famous, he extended his state of grace in terms of goalscoring. Nothing more and at least 18 goals so far this season.

Rear experience
As an offensive team, it’s far from backwards. Having Nico Otamendi at quarterback at the back no doubt carries a lot of weight in that sense. Your experience is everything.

Magic in the three quarter zone
If the ball reaches Joao Mario, Rafa Silva, David Neres, Guedes and company…things will happen. These are the footballers who are most ready to take Benfica to a new dimension.

The support of player number 12
The environment created at Da Luz has little or no envy in other fields. The large social mass behind Benfica undoubtedly contributes its grain of sand.
