Mourinho is still the same, Benfica is preparing to lose everything

"I have always believed that when a team frequently delays time, there is only one person responsible - that is the referee." - Mourinho

After 4 consecutive losses, Mourinho needs to shift the pressure

In the fourth round of the Champions League stage, Benfica lost 0-1 to Leverkusen and suffered a fourth consecutive defeat, ranking second from the bottom of the top 36. Faced with the pressure of results, Mourinho affirmed the performance of the players on the one hand, and pointed his gun at the referees on the other. He relied on psychological warfare to divert pressure. The madman moved his past experience to the Portuguese Super League.

Insufficient firepower output ability, Benfica is bound to "lose all four"

After experiencing a major reshuffle in the 2025 summer window, Benfica's strength has dropped significantly compared to last season. Pavlidis has scored 13 goals in the past 21 games, but the Greek center lacks fire support around the center. Ivanovic, Kjedrup and Luka Bakkio are all average in ability.

Trapped in a devilish schedule, it will be difficult for Benfica to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. In the Portuguese Super League, Benfica's main competitors are Porto and Sporting CP. Considering the team's current firepower configuration, it is not easy to have the last laugh in the points battle. Not long ago, Benfica's presidential election was attended by a crowd of people. The "Mourinho effect" has been achieved. As for whether the madman will be discredited again because of "all four things are empty", this is not something they consider.
