Greekaroos Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 The replay of the Khimky v Olympiacos Euroleague basketball match from the previous night was actually on just before the Benfica v Braga match on Saturday morning.
FrappeFetish Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Im very excited for Benfica's match with Bayern today. Mitroglou and Samaris can make a big impression. I would be keen for them to stay put at Benfica. They seem to have so much fun playing with those guys. Benfica has such an energy to them on the pitch. They really seem to get along. 1
georgelaz Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Mitro had 2 chances to put them at the back of the net but his shooting muscle mechanics failed him. Similar to the flop shot he had via the Torosidis cross that he fumbled against Montenegro. He needs to work on his brain to leg shooting mechanics from fast crosses. Samaris didn't start but looked solid to keep Bayern from getting a 2nd goal. It'll be tough without Jonas (two yellow card game suspension) to get a win in Portugal, but not a crazy idea. Hopefully Benfica can pull off a shocker. Edited April 5, 2016 by georgelaz 1
FrappeFetish Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 It was a very exciting stretch to open the 2nd half, between Jonas' chance and Mitroglou's whiffed chance. I like the spirit of the Estadio de Luz, and think the fans can motivate Mitroglou or Jimenez to put one in the back of the net to send it to ET and penalties. The defense should have gained some confidence that they can bring back home. That might be the most realistic chance Benfica has. I'm quickly becoming a fan. 1
Tzatziki Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 1-0 ain't bad, if they play well they can cause an upset, but Bayern will obviously not make it easy.
Argy Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Samaris came on 90th minute, but made a timely defensive play in his short stint. Mitroglou had some flashes, but was well isolated by the Bayern defense through the most part. 1
Nikitas Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) soon he will officially be a benfica player. he has agreed to sign a contract untill 2020. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abola.pt%2Fnnh%2Fdestaque.aspx%3Fid%3D606804%26zona%3D1%26t%3D3 also linked with arsenal but i believe this has very little chance of happening. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-transfer-news-rumours-gunners-7743194 http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/12/arsenal-consider-transfer-move-for-greek-striker-kostas-mitroglou-5811340/ Edited April 13, 2016 by Nikitas
Chris Tsamados Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 WTF is Mitrogolou not playing in today's Champions League game?
Nikitas Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 benfica missed their 3 best attacking players. jonas suspended and mitroglou and gaitan injured. they missed them big time. but apart from that benfica didnt really play well. match ended in 2-2 and 3-2 aggregate for bayern. i dont get why samaris isnt playing , he seems to have lost his spot to fejsa wich i dont understand.
paxiotis7 Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) i dont get why samaris isnt playing , he seems to have lost his spot to fejsa wich i dont understand. fejsa only started the bayern munich games probably because hes a more physical, and defensive player... benfica had to try and find someway to slow them down and it actually worked out pretty good oh and by the way, mitroglou is in crazy form this year, playing for one of the biggest teams in europe Edited April 14, 2016 by paxiotis7
Nikitas Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 again linked with leicester. they were in gonna watch him play against bayern wednesday but to bad he was injured. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fabola.pt%2Fclubes%2Fver.aspx%3Ft%3D3%26id%3D607296
Nikitas Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 reports say that mitro rejects arsenal and that he wants to stay with benfica. still funny that the english still call him fulham flop and that he was the flop but it was more fulham itself who was flop. they are so ignorant and anoying on that subject. http://www.theweek.co.uk/arsenal-transfer-news/69162/arsenal-transfer-news-theo-walcott-heads-for-the-exit http://www.allarsenal.com/2016/04/arsenalrumours/good-news-following-arsenal-approach-for-free-scoring-striker
Nikitas Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 according to reports in portugal mitroglou signed a contract with benfica untill 2020 with a buy out clausule of 45 million. https://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=pt&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.noticiasaominuto.com%2Fdesporto%2F588844%2Ffechado-mitroglou-fica-ate-2020-com-clausula-de-45-milhoes&edit-text=&act=url 1

Argy Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) This was probably his last shot to make a name for himself abroad before settling for a lower tier league/club or returning to Greece. Huge boost to his career signing a permanent deal with an arguably world class club. Edited May 19, 2016 by Argy
Nikitas Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) mitro and samaris won the double yesterday after winning a cup final against maritimo with 6-2. mitro scored the 0-2 and the 0-3. samaris also started becuase fejsa was out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBq79DIuOec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIkBbAFCuaU Edited May 21, 2016 by Nikitas 1
Niko77 Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 I just saw on facebook that mitroglou just scored in a friendly vs Wolfsburg
Nikitas Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 linked with napoli. im 100% positive that he wont go anywhere and will be a starter this season. http://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/ston-mitroglou-strefetai-i-napoli/3187338
