Koeman falha uma vez mais

2006-01-29T15:49:00.000Z

Pior do que o resultado do Benfica foi a imagem de equipa suberviente que o Benfica demonstrou frente ao Sporting.

A ganhar ao intervalo mas com as fragilidades já francamente evidenciadas, Koeman não soube rectificar ao intervalo. Quando o Sporting empatou em vez de procurar reforçar o meio-campo tirou Beto para entrar Marcel, quando um jogador como Karagounis, que sabe prender a bola se justificava.

Alcides foi um buraco, Nelson à esquerda não rende metade do que rende à direita e os reforços...

que reforços? Moretto andou aos papeis várias vezes e no 3º. golo saiu a destempo. Se não chegava ficava na baliza...

Pior ainda do que durante o jogo foi no final do jogo. Nem sequer uma réstea de esperança transmitiu aos adeptos. Podia usar um discurso "de tudo correu mal, este jogo não se vai repetir", mas não praticamente atirou a toalha ao chão ao dizer que seis pontos são muitos pontos.

Como é possíve?. O Sporting mesmo ganhando estará a 9 (se o Portio ganhar, naturalmente, hoje ao Rio Ave) , o Benfica está a 6 e que diferença de posturas relativamente ao futuro...

Koeman... não serve.
