kolokotronis99tripoli Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Samaris did not play at all today in Benfica's 4-0 win over Estoril. Kind of worries me as Benfica seem to be finding their stride without him. Hopefully it was just an injury scare but he was on the bench
Nikitas Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 played a good match yesterday but was taken out in the second half since they needed a goal.
Original 21 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Scored a goal today, assisted by Mitroglou.
Doxa Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Benfica will make money of this guy, thats what they do, they will sell him. If he stays a regular any team in the world first looking at players from Portugese clubs.
georgelaz Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) he get's a lot of yellow cards. picked up one in 68 in the 4-0 win against tondela. aggression can be good though if he doesn't accumulate reds. Edited November 2, 2015 by georgelaz
RED SHERIFF Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Benfica will make money of this guy, thats what they do, they will sell him. If he stays a regular any team in the world first looking at players from Portugese clubs. they paid 10 million for him.....he turns 27 before the next season.....there's not much margin in that formula to make money from a player that we really don't know if he is a no.6 or no.8?
Nikitas Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 samaris and his yellow cards are ridiculous. he is banned for this evening cl match against galatasaray.
Nikitas Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 surprise surprise , another yellow for samaris last sunday. not sure but i think he is banned for their next match. http://www.flashscore.com/match/rHgMKNvh/#match-summary
Akritis_1944 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Yes he has been very consistent and highly regarded at Benfica. He picks up way too many yellow cards but that is largely due to the role he plays. However, he has largely looked liked an amateur for the National team. So go figure and try explaining it to anyone who watches him playing for Greece.
Brklyngrk Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 One of my Portuguese friends is a huge Benfica fan, tells me that the fans are generally happy with his play. They think he was a good find, not as confident with Mitroglou though...
georgelaz Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) ^ re did you watch the past 2 games. he was the only offensive threat greece had :P Samaris looks like he's in a class of his own compared to the rest of the Greek midfield. he glides with the ball and sets up plays from the back thinking 3-4 steps ahead Edited November 18, 2015 by georgelaz
Akritis_1944 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 It's about time. He's been a passenger since the world cup. It's like he got this big money move to Benfica and whenever he had to turn up for the NT he was scared of getting injured and was walking around.
Nikitas Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 instead of 1 yellow card he this time recieved 2 yellows and got send off in the extra time of the cuop match between lisboa and benfica , i think he recieved them both without 10 minutes or so in extra time. his second he got when lisboa scored the 2-1.
Ethnikos Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Nice work Nikitas, I appreciate the updates keep it up!
Nikitas Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 has 12 bookings so far this season but lately he dont get many. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.record.xl.pt%2Ffutebol%2Ffutebol-nacional%2Fliga-nos%2Fbenfica%2Fdetalhe%2Fsamaris-e-o-rei-das-admoestacoes.html
maggica Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Samaris is playing well today against sporting Lisbon. Benicia is winning 1-0 so far
georgelaz Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 has 12 bookings so far this season but lately he dont get many. https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.record.xl.pt%2Ffutebol%2Ffutebol-nacional%2Fliga-nos%2Fbenfica%2Fdetalhe%2Fsamaris-e-o-rei-das-admoestacoes.html as a cdm, it's sometimes wise to make ambitious tackles before the opponent gets deep into the box. Thus preventing dangerous freekicks, penalties, outnumbered defense etc. Samaris rarely if ever gets double carded, so his cards are a tactical, rather then disciplinary issue.
Koro Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Samaris made it into the UCL team of the week. I don't know if its a good thing for Greece that he's playing CB, rather than CDM. Since Greece already has the CB spot sorted for Sokratis/Manolas/KPapa. But its nice to know that he can play there. Lets wait and see who Benfica get in the next round. 2
Nikitas Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 he was a madeshift cb because benfica had some injuries and suspensions , i believe they played with half a b team and still won away against zenit. apart from that he always plays as dm. he played a great match , mitro didnt had a good match but only had 1 chance i believe , he and jonas were subbed , mitro in the 66th minute or so. 1
RED SHERIFF Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 the fact he played well at CD is great for greece NT...In the sense that I have had doubts on his defensive capabilities at a high level. we know he has great vision and can be good going forward....he now knows how to track back properly and close down... perfect for the no.6 role...I think this is our greatest weakness...... if he can nail this..... It allows Taxi, Fortounis, Mandalos to be more creative.
Tzatziki Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Benfica played him there because they had no fit cb and the manga played his ass off bravo to the alaniari. :tup: 1
georgelaz Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) *crosses fingers in hopes that he gets an in-form card in Fifa 16 he's already an 80 so that would monstrous. Manolas is currently an 84. So nice. Both these guys have world class auras to them. Edited March 13, 2016 by georgelaz
