I feel like you're being sarcastic but I don't understand how the number of chances created relates to competitiveness at all

I was just joking. Well, i ment that the league was so competitive and even that the teams neutralized each other, if i can put it that way.

Not really sensational. He's a club member, started his playing career there, and his father played for their legendary 1940s side. And Benfica are said to be scaling back the size of their sporting project to focus on their youth system instead of expensive transfers. Sporting are already doing this. Finally Sporting actually matched his current salary while Benfica wanted to reduce it.

Still, going from Benfica to Sporting? It's the biggest rivalry in Portugal.

I get that, but I think it's understandable. Jesus was never going to leave Portugal right now with his father's health failing. And he's threatened to move to Sporting/Porto before.

Apparently Marco Silva, Sporting's previous coach, is in line to become Benfica's new coach. The Super Cup is going to be weird. :lol:
