The only match between the walls and Benfica was 35 years ago. Carlitos and Magalhães played in this match and faced the idols of the time
It was on May 4, 1985 when Paredes and Benfica met for the only time in history. Tomorrow there will be another confrontation, but the memory of a special day was left behind when the eagles went to Penafiel, a house loaned to the people of Parede, winning 3-0.
“I am a Benfica fan and I was used to going to La Luz to watch my idols play. I almost always went to European car competitions, with my friends, and we had between five and six hours of travel. In an instant, I was I came face to face with Diamantino, Wando, Bento, Nené … “, says Carlitos, ahead of that Paredes formation that at that time was climbing to the extinct II Division.
“Benfica knew we had a strong team and they came with all the players. What could we do? We enjoyed it,” says Magalhães, a former right-back. At halftime, as a result it was done. Paredes did not resist the goals of Manniche, Wando and Nené and the rest, says Carlitos, was “a peladinha”. “We were used to playing naked. I had never used aluminum studs. Look, at 30 minutes I was full of pain in my feet …”, he says.
If Carlitos wasn’t in the mood to ask superstars for memories at the end of the game, Magalhães didn’t. “We were so absorbed that it did not even matter. I wanted someone’s shirt, but I was ashamed to address monsters like that. If it were today, I would not be ashamed, only that at that time we were children,” evokes the former defender. he adept eagles. Tomorrow, Carlitos will support Benfica, because he has “more chances” of winning the Cup, while Magalhães will support Paredes.
Jorge Jesús is “difficult to understand”
Carlitos admits that he is a “fervent” Benfica fan and that if he is still playing today he would like to exchange a few words with … Jorge Jesús. “Sometimes I don’t understand how Benfica plays,” he concludes. However, Magalhães has a more understanding opinion of the coach.
“It bothered me a lot when he left. He has another language,” he says. For the former defender, surprise is possible. “Children are not so scared. At that time, we were shaking just looking at the jerseys. Sporting were not eliminated by Alverca last season and Benfica did not tremble in Vizela.”
