Olympiacos Piraeus

[Schuldiner]

We should snipe Kasami and Fortounis in the future. Fortounis looks exactly what we need for position 8.

Nice game Olimpiakos

[Schuldiner]

Take a deep breath to enjoy the win Faliro and later you can give us your take on the match today.

You have the coach whom most of benfiquistas really wanted, including me.
The other portuguese newcomers Vitor Pereira and Paulo Sousa were all with huge chip on their shoulders (for diferente reasons) if they arrived at Benfica. Leonardo Jardim was not possible at this stage.

Marco`s spell at his first club - Estoril, should clear any doubts. It was very impressive the way he played, specially away. Estoril seemed a big team with advanced defense and possession football. Last year at Sporting cant be fairly judged considering the presidente Marco had to endure. At least it gave him the experience in dealing with media circus and very tough situations with the board.


And to think he is only 38. Enjoy Marco Silva for the time being. Enjoy while you can.

PS Your board  Hit the nail on the head while choosing portuguese coaches. Leonardo Jardim, Vitor Pereira and Marco Silva. Really nice set of coaches.

I am confident he will be with us for at least the two years. It is a project.

Today Marco Silva's tactics worked very well. Efficiency. Very little waste. He got about 70 new grey hairs the last 3 weeks working out what to do with the centre midfield after his charge Bouxalakis was injured. He even rang up Michel and Vitor to ask about Kasami. He trusted Kasami and he looked sensational next to Cambiasso.

The game today however was a team effort. Seba (not too rated on here), Pardo and Salino were sensational. I believe Roberto fucked up on the first goal. Should have saved it.  However he played well after that mistake. I don't think Silva is going anywhere for a while, but perhaps you will see a player like Fortounis in Portugal.. 

That's exactly the time that he's forbidden to train in Portugal. At the end of those 2 years he'll back here (Portugal) and for our Benfica.

Great win today. We wish you all the luck for your Olympiacos man!!

I don't think he has any clause that prohibits him of training in Portugal next year, Sporting tried to enforce that, but apparently they failed because the first negotiations to amicably terminate the contract failed, I think it was even public. Was said that MS refused any attempt of Sporting trying to control his future.

Marco reaction after third goal

Marco Silva isn't all that...

[Godescalco]

Congrats, Faliro! Nice win in England, at last!

Is Nikopolidis still part of Oly's technical staff?

Marco reaction after third goal

He reacts like that to each Olympiacos goal. I love it.

[20simao1]

Marco Silva, of course. He sould be here at Benfica, i'm saying this for the last 3 years..

[Faliro]

Congrats, Faliro! Nice win in England, at last!

Is Nikopolidis still part of Oly's technical staff?

To my knowledge he is no longer working for Olympiacos.

[Blitzer]

Great victory for Olympiacos and Marco Silva, perhaps the biggest in his career ! 

Good performance from Pardo, he always shines in big games.

The next two games against Dinamo Zagreb are very important !

They can make the difference between the EL or CL 1/8-finals...

[Covenant]

If Oly can make 6 points against Dínamo Zagreb, I believe it's done.

Bayern will make at least 4 points against Arsenal.

Great Result, congratulation Faliro.
