Jorge Jesus influence! Ex-Benfica boss recalled by Torreense goal | OneFootball

Torreense’s first goal in the Portuguese Cup final against Sporting is still being talked about, and Francisco Geraldes, a midfielder who previously played for Sporting, decided to explain the move in detail on social media, even drawing on an old story involving Jorge Jesus.

In a video posted on social media, the Portuguese midfielder described the move as a real “set-piece cheat code” and recalled a conversation he had with the Portuguese coach during the time they were both at Sporting.

The move consists of crossing the ball to the near post, where the player positioned in that area flicks it on to the far post, allowing another teammate to arrive and tap it in. According to Francisco Geraldes, Jorge Jesus explained to the squad that this very specific type of corner was used at Benfica and allowed shorter players to score several goals per season.

The former Sporting player also revealed that the Portuguese coach even used Javier Saviola as an example, saying that this kind of set-piece movement could produce “five or six goals per season” even for footballers without much physical presence in the air.
