Tomás da Cunha says: Benfica starter put in a strong display against Porto | OneFootball

Benfica and Porto drew 0-0 in the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Tomás da Cunha believes that the strategy implemented by José Mourinho may have worked, but it's clear that there's not much time for practice, praising the performance of Enzo Barrenechea.

"Chelsea and Porto were not the same, but they illustrate the competitive state of Benfica. Adapting, Mourinho blocked Alan Varela and limited the midfielders with individual marking," began the expert, through his social networks.

The sports commentator pointed out the little time José Mourinho has had to work at Luz and applauded the performance of the 'number 5' of the eagles: "He sought mobility from Sudakov and support from Pavlidis, but routines are missing. Enzo Barrenechea in good form"

In the 1,151 minutes he played, the midfielder scored one goal and made one assist.
