Benfica coach Jorge Jesus says that he feels the team is more confident and happier, which he considers normal, given the improved results in recent rounds, in which Benfica managed to find regularity that allowed them to regain third place from Sp. Braga and look more ambitious for second place, held by FC Porto.

In the preview of the match against Marítimo, Jesus also stated that the break due to FIFA calendar allowed him to work with another intensity, as he was only deprived of a limited number of players.

Marítimo aren’t much improved under new head coach Julio Velázquez. They will play 5-4-1 defending with almost all the players. But as they can hardly bring threat to Benfica’s goal, Jorge Jesus’ players will be able to break through with a little bit of patience.

Let’s back Benfica.

本菲卡主教练热苏斯表示，他觉得球队更加自信和快乐，他认为这很正常，因为最近几轮的成绩有所提高，本菲卡成功找到了稳定性，他们从布拉加手中夺回了第三名的位置，并且看起来更有野心，冲击占据第二名位置的波尔图。

在对阵马里蒂莫的比赛赛前发布会中，热苏斯表示，由于国际足联比赛日带来的间歇期，让他能够再次展开强化训练，而且他这次只被剥夺了数量有限的球员。

马里蒂莫在新任主教练巴斯克斯的带领下并没有太大的进步。他们将用几乎所有的球员参加防守的5-4-1阵型。但由于他们很难给本菲卡的球门带来威胁，热苏斯的球员们只要稍微耐心一点就能攻破球门。

让我们支持本菲卡。
