Orlando...Im pretty sure they both got their first start against Portimonense...Rodrigo scored and Nelson didnt. From then on in...its been Rodrigo ahead of Nelson.
Regardless...everyday, I do my rounds, a bola, o record, o jogo, google news...I type in Benfica (see what pops up), planet Benfica,Ser Benfiquista etc etc and of course Portugoal. And what infuriated me today was JJ's quote on the cover of a bola which basically said that both Nelson and Rodrigo are great players but he doesnt know how long both will be around. Why the &^%& even say that? Why wont they be around long?...why do we have to sell them. Both can barely drive and we given up on keeping them long term already...im livid right now to think that our own coach doesnt even think we can hold onto our best players...He should be demanding they stay. I understand we re still a selling team right now but when is it going to stop. Really, how hard is it to pay them properly instead of wasting money on summer transfers each year. To think of the team we could have right now if we built on two years ago, Im furious right now. Sell Javi (as much as Im Javi fan) and Gaitan, both we can replace right now, and maybe even be a step a head with cash we get for them, but two strikers like Rodrigo and Nelson on the same team doesnt happen everyday, as far as Im concerned if theyre what we think they are gonna be, then make sure they retire with us...enough said.
I know its premature...but it will be interesting see what the future will brings for Nelson. Everyone always talks about Benfica bringing in foreigners, call me negative but I have a feeling he ll bail on Benfica faster than all the other sell out portuguese players. And if one person says that its best that he goes to a foreign team to develop our national team....Ill snap!
