After damaging his heel, Freire will be out for two weeks. I’ll rotate in our young dynamite guy, Hernani Costa.
The final game of August is our away game against Benfica. Can we channel the previous away game into it? I make no changes to my starting 11, wanting to capture the moment. We’ll start with a Counter set up. Carry on where you left off! I also have a retain possession instruction immediately. They foul Adriano in the penalty box early, and he;’s injured. I replace him with Dj and Rondon scores. Then they score twice in the next three minutes and I order my folks to close down more and such. No more scores, we get to the half down 2-1. And we have a very quiet second half where little happens and finish that way.
Simao Cordeiro is MOM against Ghana’s U20 squad in the African Champ Quals.
I reject a loan offer for Miguel Rodrigues. I accept a few for some other folks though.
As the transfer window closes, we currently have 14 people on loan.
