24 July 2008

Nuno Gomes, Petit, Quim, and Jorge Ribeiro will play this week in Torneio do Guadiana.



The next Portugal game is on August 20th, then in September, the 2010 World Cup qualifyers start. I wanted to see in what shape the 4 international players from Benfica will arrive to those 2 games. They are forward, Nuno Gomes, Petit, goalkeeper Quim, and defender Jorge Ribeiro. Here are photos from the training on July 22, 2008:

Nuno Gomes didn't have a great season at Benfica before the Euro 2008-yet Scolari still put him in the starting lineup. I don't think Queiroz will keep Nuno Gomes in the starting lineup.

So this week- Benfica pre-season training.

Nuno Gomes, Petit, Quim and Jorge Ribeiro are in the official 28 man list for the Torneio do Guadiana. Match against a Premiership team, Blackburn Rovers and then, Sporting on Sunday.

Goalkeepers: Moreira, Quim e Bruno Costa

Defenders: Luís Filipe, Edcarlos, Luisão, Léo, Zoro, Miguel Vítor, Sepsi, Sidnei e Jorge Ribeiro

Midfielders: Petit, Katsouranis, Aimar, Balboa, Fellipe Bastos, Maxi Pereira, Rúben Amorim, Binya, Carlos Martins, Nuno Assis e Yebda

Forwards: Cardozo, Urreta, Makukula, Nuno Gomes e Nélson Oliveira
