José Mourinho believes that the comeback at Choupana is a turning point. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our Newspaper reveals that the Benfica coach feels that the match against Nacional might have been the much-needed “psychological shake-up” that the team was in need of.

Glorioso 1904 knows, from a close source, that the Portuguese coach was very proud of the reaction and attitude the players showed in the face of the disadvantage on the scoreboard, close to the final whistle. Furthermore, our Newspaper reports that the Benfica locker room gained a new spirit after the epic comeback they achieved.

On the other hand, as Glorioso 1904 is aware, José Mourinho, besides being extremely satisfied with his team's psychological capacity, made a point of highlighting the fighting spirit of Gianluca Prestianni and Andreas Schjelderup, since the two young players fought until the last breath for a favorable result for Benfica.

The result obtained at Choupana became special, not only because of the response the team gave in the face of adversity, but also because the Eagles matched a record that had eluded them for three years: three consecutive victories in different competitions — Atlético (2-0), Ajax (2-0), and Nacional (2-1).

Finally, our Newspaper states that the Portuguese coach seeks to capitalize on this psychological boost for the entire team to achieve an excellent result in the derby on Friday, December 5th, when Benfica hosts their great rival Sporting at Estádio da Luz.
