Fehér made his Debut at Benfica The new season has started also in Portugal, moreover, it happened with a change of name, as Primeira Liga will be referred to as Superliga after all. Regarding its content, it is not different in any way, as also in the followings Sporting, Porto, Benfica, and Boavista possess a good chance to obtain championship. Among the famous teams mentioned, Boavista played first, and althought they played well away against Setubal, they were unable to get ahead of the team they were facing. Moreover, the home team could have obtained the three points with a bit of luck, but their attackers continously made mistakes, therefore the result seems right. "We have to get used to the fact that this year we will face several teams which show off a wrestling-like style of playing against us. Naturally, I am not satisfied with the result, as the first thing I ask for my players is to win. The second is to win. The third is to win. Good style of playing is less important," Boavista coach Jaime Pacheco said, in a style peculiar to him. Sporting coach László Bölöni is surely more satisfied than him, as his players obtained the three points in the home of Academica. Although Sporting did not have an easy job, which results from the fact that they had injured (including Jardel, who was suffering from depression) and suspended players who had to miss the game. Furthermore, the team will play Champions league qualification match against Inter in the San Siro next Tuesday. Sporting took the leading in the end of the first half, as Quaresma bombed the ball into Pedro Roma's net following a pass by Ricardo Fernandes. In the remaining time Sporting was also lucky, as in the 64th minute, following a pass by Cesar Prates, Tomel tried to save a goal in a so bad manner that he kicked the ball into his own net. Having obtained a two goal difference, Sporting players held in their attacks, and Academica was unable to show itself off more intensely. After the match coach Bölöni did not ignore the passive style of playing. "In the first half we were in great advantage, we played well, it was us who controlled the game. Unfortunately we were not lively enough in the second half and we produced bad performance. The pitch was also to blame. The quality of the grass had a negative role in the performance of both teams". Even if only for ten minutes, Miklós Fehér made his debut in Benfica strip. The Hungarian player entered the pitch in the 80th minute as an exchange player during the home game against Maritimo won 3-0 by Benfica. Despite not spending much time on the pich, he deserved the applause of the fifty thousand supporters after a great kick (the ball nearly missed the net). "The team did well and I also enjoyed the game," Fehér said to our newspaper. "The fact that I was not in the starting team did not surprise me, but still I am very happy that I did play. I think that I did everything that was possible in so short time, therefore I hope that coach Jesualdo Ferreira will give me more time to play against Beira Mar next week". Another Hungarian player, Gábor Vayer did also play in the first round. The player of Santa Clara entered the pitch in the 80th minute, the match against Braga ended in 0-0. Back to articles
