The problem of Benfica is the stability. They're like R.Madrid or Inter in that. Always with problems inside the club, the directors, the coach, the players, etc...
They're the biggest club here so much more pressure to them.
Last season the problem was the injuries and the lack of options besides the first 11.
Benfica had Simao, they sold... and they're fvcked. Simple as that. Simao was their icon, their symbol, their... everything in the last 5-6 seasons.
And their coach is not that good too. We'll see what happens until the 31 but they really need someone that makes the diference, essentially in the midfield.
It appears one problem has been solved. Benfica have, according to reports, fired coach Fernando Santos following the disastrous game with Leixoes.
