In Paredes, where Benfica started this edition of the Portuguese Cup with a 1-0 victory, Jorge Jesús presented a very renewed team, the same should happen tomorrow, at the reception to Vilafranquense, from Liga 2, bet to win, because in the Cup From Portugal there is no room for slips, but also to give rest to the main players and minutes and routines to the least used squad.
An opportunity, therefore, for many to see their name in the starting eleven, also an opportunity for several to join a call-up of the main team, such as the cases of Morato, central team B, Tiago Araújo and Paulo Bernardo, young of the same category and who were also in Paredes, and also Ferreyra, spearhead of signed credits, but whose career declined year after year after signing for Benfica, to the point of not having been sold or transferred anywhere in the past summer. Currently, the Argentine is looking for a second chance, perhaps inspired by Taarabt, but it is far from being Jesus’ first choice. The Portuguese Cup, however, seems to suit him, being a candidate for the title, to form a couple, for example, with Gonçalo Ramos, as in Paredes.
Back there, Mile Svilar dreams of the season’s debut in the main team, but Helton Leite is on the books. Jesus will decide whether to reward the Belgian, who was on the bench with Standard and with the promise that he would enter the game if the result was wide, it did not happen. So on the right side of the defense you will no longer be surprised if João Ferreira is chosen, Jardel, Ferro and Nuno Tavares must complete the rear section of the team.
In the midfield, it would not cause a sensation to see Samaris and Chiquinho in action in the center and on the lines Diogo Gonçalves, Cervi, Pedrinho (again) or even Tiago Araújo.
Certain are the absences in the eleven starters – still in Belgium Jesus announced that Everton would not play at first against Vilafranquense and there are several players with the same protection – but the Benfica coach will always call the bench, as happened in Muros, important names. Plan B for any eventuality.
