- A tactical look at one of the front runners for the Primeira Liga this season, Benfica. Brought to you by OneFootball THE football app to have: tinyurl.com/Tifo-March
In six seasons at the helm of the club, tactician Jorge Jesus took Benfica to three league titles, six domestic cups and two Europa League finals. When the time came to replace him, Rui Vitória was the chosen man. The 47-year-old didn’t make many tactical adjustments, taking advantage of the basis left by the previous manager and focusing on player relationships and nurturing youngsters into the first team.
This lead to two more league titles, as well as the rise and consequent valuable sale of players like Nelson Semedo, Ederson, Gonçalo Guedes, Renato Sanches and Victor Lindelof.

Tifo Football that’s great! Keep on improving 😃
Tifo Football Very unpopular opinion, but do one with the MLS. I know the quality is not as good as Europe but it would be nice to know more about the league from people who understands football like you guys there. Great video by the way, keep up the good work!
Paolo Fonseca, Shakhtar
Jorge Jesus's Sporting Clube de Portugal :)
You would love to see how Sporting played against Juventus and Barcelona 😎
Tifo Football always good to see something new and learn something new👍 keep it up guys 🤙🤙
Fantastic - I support Benfica from England, and it's rare that there's an insightful video about them in English!
Glad you support that team, get informed on all the corruption cases that surrounds them in these last few years... Referee bribe (e-mails between so many people from FPF and referee association, illegal vouchers to referees worth hundreds and hundreds of euros that go against the rules), drug trafficking, paid games for opponents to lose, and not only regarding benfica but also its president and so namy people related to politics and even judges. so many things and each month new cases come up. Most recently the case o e-toupeira (toupeira=mole) where its proven fact that Benfica's legal advisor illegally gets inside information in cases of corruption against Benfica that arent supposed to be accessible to them (information coming through those politics and judges that i mentioned before)
But who cares as long as they win (carried by the system)
And since so many people in portugal are from Benfica they dont care and justice doesn't work, even when Luis Felipe Vieira is one of the most corrupt people in the country, even bigger corrupt than Pinto da Costa whose cases you've certainly heard of
Daniel Henriques só mais um aziado que se esqueceu dos anos do apito dourado em que o pinto da costa dominava o futebol em Portugal. Passar a culpa para os outros é fácil
@@danielhenriques6051 cala a boca ninguem quer saber do porto ou sporting bye kkkkkk
@@danielhenriques6051 benfica has been convicted of 0, shut up
@@danielhenriques6051 bitter
Holy shit you made a video about a Portuguese team
I'm really happy to see this type of content about our league. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of "good football discussions" here as pundits and the people in general usually prefer shows with content such as "DIGA UM!"
Gui R Exactly! Shows like Trio Ataque, Dia Seguinte, & especially Prolongamento are trash. MaisFutebol is the best one since people talk in a calm manner and don’t bitch about incidents.
People are literally play a role in favour of their even if they have to be complete and utter twats the whole time and d*cks to other people. I just don't watch them
@@abolacadernos hahahahahahhaha PEDRO DIGA-ME UM CARALHO OU MORRES COM UMA FACADA! E tipo assim
Thank you Tifo football for making a video about Benfica!! During the first half of the season the club was not himself because of the turmoil between the big 3 of Portugal (Benfica, Porto and Sporting), also they horrendous transfer and tactical approach, like buying another striker instead of giving more playing time for established and reliable striker( Raul Gimenez) but with this new system they look very confident and remind me of the amazing Benfica side during the second half of 2015-2016 season.
Thanks Aldair!
Ruben Dias has been immense for Benfica.
Anon meh
Don't get me wrong he's not mind blowing, but he's filled a hole left by Lindelof and is now in contention for a WC spot for Portugal. Not Bad for a 20yr old.
96 goals in 106 games, with 33 assists? How old is Jonas now?! I love these videos 🐐
He is 33 years old, and he is not even called for the Brazillian national team..
Pedro Rodrigues WTF? That's ridiculous... this man is a born goalscorer! Who do they tend to use in front instead, Jesus? Jose? Firmino??
RL maybe because against opposition such as Tondela and feirense, even I would seem a world class striker. No surprise to see that against porto, Sporting, or champions teams, Jonas scores exactly zero goals
well he has scored against sporting... on a penalty xD
in those games he tends to help more in the midfield though
Béco Silva ah I see thanks. I assumed with such a goal tally, he's be really consistent and perform against bigger teams too 😭
Amazing, I thought you didn't pay attention the Portuguese league and despite that you make a video showing a ton of knowledge that many that follow it weekly lack, well done!
MrFuckthesystem6 Because Tiago Estevao helped. Some twitter football scout/tactic guy who is Portugese
oh just noticed the portuguese name, even still, it's really detailed
I wrote it indeed. Glad you guys enjoyed.
I don’t know if you have knowledge about South America, but it would be nice if you make a tactical profile of Independiente, who have won Copa Sudamericana, are serious contenders to win Copa Libertadores and have give players to Argentina’s national team ( Meza, Bustos, Tagliafico, Rigoni )
Great video!!
Excellent video. Thanks for covering this!
As promised, no more requests for you, Joe. (Mind games)
really good stuff... you've summarized it perfectly. much better than the 1001 portuguese analysts that cover portuguese football.
Brilliant.. Benfica is a truly legendary European Team
They were legendary in the 60s maybe.. Since then, the only true international portuguese club has been Porto. 2europa leagues, 2 champions, uefa,super cup and Word,champions twice.. More than doubles the international trophies of benfica and Sporting..combined!.
Tinhas que vir para aqui. Enfim, pequenez
Pequenez é viver à custa de glórias passadas e alimentar mitos a cair de podre. Pequenez é o Eusébio aterrar no aeroporto e ser desviado pelo Salazar para jogar no glorioso clube do regime, e assim manter o povinho inebriado pelas conquistas artificiais do clube do regime. Pequenez é cinquenta anos depois ainda andarem para ganhar outra coisa sem ser campeonatos da treta cá na terrinha. Mas,obrigado por tentares.
quando o Eusébio veio para Portugal, salazar tinha mais com que se preocupar... estava uma guerra a rebentar nas colonias, por exemplo... E triste que a propaganda tripeira falseie a historia de Portugal para lavar o cérebro ao pobres de espirito. Continuam a dizer que o Benfica e o clube do estado novo, quando na verdade foi dos mais prejudicados e perseguidos pela ditadura. se o benfica conquistou o que conquistou nos anos 60, em nada se deve ao regime vigente na altura, ao contrario de outros, que passariam pelo menos uma epoca na 2. liga nao fosse a intervencao do estado.
Uma pesquisa rápida pelo Google tinha-te evitado perder essa oportunidade para estar calado..não só o desviou para o Benfica, quando era suposto ele ir para o Sporting, como vetou várias vezes a saída dele para o estrangeiro, clubes italianos tentaram contrata lo por diversas vezes mas ele era 'património,do estado'. Conhecimento geral, que só mesmo benfiquista com palas pode ignorar. Mas concordo num ponto: havia muito mais coisas com que o estado novo se devia ter preocupado...só que claramente não o fez
Great video! Cheers from a Portuguese FC Porto fan! ^-^
Luís Bessa me too Luís. I wish they'd do a video about our club
It’s very nice to see this FairPlay. Take this from a Benfica fan. Have a nice season!
I actually would like to see a Porto video.
Miguel Montanelas Pokemon GO guess what? Its just been uploaded on this channel
Miguel Montanelas Pokemon GO clubismo à parte, há que saber apreciar futebol! Ele pos hoje o vide! Abraço :)
Luís Bessa como eu digo ha os lampioes, os lagartos e os dragoes. E dps como nos ha portistas, sportinguistas e benfiquistas.
Great to highlight other leagues 👌🏻
Really well done. As a Benfica fan, I think you covered pretty much everything about our style of play at the moment. Maybe you could have talked a little about Ruben Dias since he has given Benfica the opportunity to play higher on the pitch since Luisão due to his age just can´t use his good positioning to cover his lack of speed anymore.
true
Portugal has the best football player in the world, the best agent in the world, the best beach football player in the world and the best futsal player in the world
And portugal only as 10M people...less then london city!!! Viva Portugal
tiagovalen maybe even the best manager and also don’t forget we’re also European Champions ;)
Pedro Alves ÉDER
Pedro Alves melhor momento da minha vida
Pedro Alves profeta Fernando Santos
Jonas is world class man, 96 goals, 33 assists in 106 games, and he turned 34 yesterday, he came for free from Valencia and was once named the worst striker in the world like wtf
Great video about the best and greatest Portuguese team.
Keep up the good work.
Excellent analysis! You got yourself a new portuguese subscriber. Keep it up!
Please do a video on the rise of Basaksehir in the Turkish league..and how they play
Second that, would be very interesting to watch.
Do the same for Conceiçao's Porto. He has a chance to end the teams title drought. Plus, Porto has one of the most efficient attacking trios this season in Brahimi, Marega and Aboubakar
I was so ashamed of Benfica in the beggining of the year, specially ending the CL group stage with 0 points, a negative record (being a team from pot 1), one that unfortunately will stand for a long time, dropping out of both domestic Cups... Now Benfica are playing really well! Rafa is finally getting better, still 70% of what he was in Braga (he was a monster there), I love to see Zivkovic with the ball, Jonas is just being Jonas, it would be nice to see this team starting the CL group stage again!
Very nice thanks for doing a video of my almighty Benfica!
Hey man, just wanted to let you know 1-2 of your videos are being used at UCFB in lectures, so everyone at tifo keep up the good work.
Hey Matt - are you on Twitter?
Alex Stewart, whoa did I miss this message, I’m kinda on twitter... like I have an account but I rarely use it, I have just graduated, so catching up on missed messages.
Alex Stewart however something interesting for you, we had an ex Barcelona fc employee and it was him who first showed us your videos, something to think about 😏
Before anything, wonderful video and knowledge!
You could talked about Zivkovic situation that was a last case solution that Rui Vitoria had to call on, due to the dramatic and unexpected injury of Krovinovic (amazing player, an outstanding talent in the midfield, sadly he wont finish this season... definitely a player to follow his development) that would be the main option for that position.
Anyway, as a portuguese and Benfica supporter, i have to say that you let me completely AMAZED with the amount of knowledge that you have shown about Benfica team, mainly about the problems that Rui Vitoria had with the 4-4-2 left by Jorge Jesus, and how he solve them by changing to his own 4-3-3 (this process of changing the 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 has cost a couple league points and also a Champions League group stage elimination, but fortunately is now having success!)
Thank you so much for this video!
Perfect analysis!
This is so well described. Thanks for the video.
I love all your videos... They are insightful but easy to digest. Maybe do some more videos on the Portuguese league, like FC Porto, they have been overachieving with Conceicao this season. Keep up the great work!
I am a Benfica Fan thanks Tifo!
Always a great work you should work like a opposition team scouting or for FIFA franchise to make their game better keep it up !!!
Hey Tifo I noticed you wrote an article on sunshine on Leith and the team Hibernian.
As hibs are in a rather promising place right now with many young promising Scots and capped internationals and with sunshine on Leith having been heard twice this season (which is very rare) due to two home derby wins (also -sadly- rather rare) I thought perhaps a video on Hibernian's system or on the best footballing anthem in the world sunshine on Leith.
Just a thought
Nakajima is a beast
Could you please do a video on Athletic Bilbao's transfer system?
Great video. I go to every home game and couldn't tell it better. Shame for all the hate comments from rivals.
What a great video, you should explore the liga nos more often!
Wasn't really sure what to expect but for footy dumb guys like me, you done good. Very good work and keep it up. For those who have requested you do Porto or SCP, if you can, I would suggest you do Porto from a few years ago when Andre Villas Boas was their coach. They had an insanely successful year that year and (hate to say it) play some very attractive football. For SCP, I would suggest you try from 2 years ago when Sporting was playing some very good footy until they were ahead by 7/8 points and they decided to show their narcissistic and egotistical ways, even having JJ saying that he didn't consider Rui Vitoria as a coach. That caused Benfica to turn it around, and win the league. Either way, will have to subscribe and keep an eye out for more. Congrats and keep up the good work.
Peter Parker Eu ainda acho que o sporting esta um pouco melhor esta epoca do que nos últimos 4 anos
Sinceramente, nao tenho visto muito do Sporting deste ano. Sim no inicio estavam a jogar bem. No jogo da Luz nos dominamos eles, acho eu, por a maioria do jogo. Meu comentario inicial e sobre o facto que acho que o Sporting, a dois anos, no primeiro ano do JJ jogaram muito bem. Fez aquase lembrar o primeiro ano do JJ no Benfica aonde jogamos um jogo muito explosivo. O Sporting tem jogado melhor contra os tubaroes na Champions League, nos ultimos dois anos.
The way you talk about the year you recovered from 7 points behind it looks like you dominated everyone that year you were lucky af and Sporting lost points to teams like Tondela and btw Rui vitoria is not a good manager
Your dislike for Benfica (could have used a much stronger word) is your issue, depending on what team you like in Portugal and it appears that you are familiar with the league you might want to seek professional help. Last time I checked I didn't state anything that wasn't true in my OP, if so, then explain where. Luck is part of success, if you want to be a champion, you need to win those games at the critical moments and not fall to pressure. If my memory is correct, that year Benfica won the last 12+ games that they had to, with alot of pressure and sure some very luckily but with merit. Sporting on the other hand, when they were at the top and since their main purpose for being is one-upping Benfica, were having a laugh when at the top, always good to be confident, even maybe over-confident but in sports, don't feed your competitor as it could come back to haunt you. Regarding RV, you say he's not a good manager, that's your opinion, I am not a fan of his either to be honest but there is no way that you show the amount of disrespect that was shown to him at that moment during that season by an organization and simply because they had a very comfortable lead. Differences in mentality I guess.
Peter Parker RV is doing a great job right now but on his two title wins he wasnt very good.
That year i dont think it was the pressure that cost Sporting it was a mist of overconfidence and bad luck , Sporting destroyed Braga away in the last match of the season with a lot of pressure.
The thing that really irritates is the fact that Benfica won being the team that played the worst football and that Sporting side deserved the title.
And yeah i hate Benfica mostly because of the controversy with referees
My god this analysis is fantastic, sounds like whoever wrote all this down either watched us the whole year or did some serious gathering of information
Thanks, I have indeed been watching for the entire season :]
Fantastic job then, I feel like the only thing missing is probably how important Jardel is to the team and how he makes Ruben look even better (while people think it's the other way around) and how Jimenez helps the team rely more on the offensive capability when he comes on when the game is not already decided, other than that spot on
Yeah, it's always tough to fit everything into a relatively small video, but I definitely agree with you on the Jardel/Dias relationship & on Jimenez's usage. Having a more physical reference in the box definitely lets you open up certain matches. Glad you enjoyed (great Heracross pic, btw)!
Benfica is life !
Thank you sr,
Viva o Benfica
É O PENTA MANOOOOOOOOOO!!!
please do the Sporting Clube de Portugal video bro!!!
u’re amazing, gr8 work.
Great Video!!! Benfica
Benfica
Good work
Congratulations
Really good! will you make a video about Jorge Jesus's Sporting Clube de Portugal?
Dope. Benfica is love ❤️
Please do a video detailing the tactics and history of Portuguese side Portimonense.
YES! TIAGO IS WITH TIFO!
Love this
Amazing!
To Add a bit more lf background, the change to a 4-3-3 also came from Seferovic goal drought and the rise o Krovinovic, forcing a change in the system. Krovi got badly injured and Rui Vitória used Benfica's youth João Carvalho but had better sucess with Zivkovic. With Krovi we were playing better, a player i find very Modric like
Spartak Moscow, Lokomotiv Moscow or Zenit St. Petersburg
Great video
Great video
Thanks for this sober an honest analysis. I always said Rui Vitória was underrated and shunned by our media, and SM trolls (don't worry they will be here shortly) When possible the evolution of the other 2 Greats would be appreciated specially this seasons Porto run
Important to say that zivkovic is only playing because krovinovic is injured
João Gomes yeah. ACL or what injury? I know he's out for the rest of the season
yes, acl, hes probably out for half of next season as well.
Very good teamwork passing football benfica
Good analysis, though you should note that Fejsa is very good at long passes as well as short ones. It's not true that he only interacts mainly with his defense colleagues.
Very accurate
Subscribed.
There is a thing in Portugal that managers like Jorge Jesus say, that for you to be champion in portugal, you have to win inside the pitch and outside the pitch.
Loved it
Please, do a video about the new Benfica of Bruno Lage, back to 4-4-2 and youth crew.
KEEP MAKING PORTUGUESE LEAGUE REVIEWS PLZZZZ!
Love you guys!
#RoadTo37 Força BENFICA!!
Jonas just might be one the best strikes of the Portuguese league. He has his lows during a season, but when he is fit, he turns Benfica into another team really
Very good video guys, well done :)
Shakhtar donetsk under fonseca would be a good choice
Also Roma and manchester united under mourinho
I would love to have Paulo Fonseca as a coach in my team(Benfica). He has a very concrete idea of game play based on possession and he has improved a lot in recent years. I like some players from Shakhtar: Dentinho, Ferreyra, Tayson and Kovalenko.
Yeah he's got them passed Napoli in the group stage as well which is a good achievement
great vid! do one for FC Porto please!
mostly accurate, except for a couple of things:
benfica never really used a flat 4-4-2 as shown in the graphics, it was a diamond 4-4-2 (4-1-3-1-1) with fejsa behind pizzi, and jonas behind the target man (mitroglou). benfica still uses a similar system, with jimenez as an advanced forward, if / when jonas needs more freedom. very rarely, they also use a 3-4-3 system, swapping out one of the defenders for a third striker (seferovic).
of all benficas wingers, salvio is probably the "purest" one. all the others (cervi, rafa, zivkovic, even pizzi at a stretch) are part winger, part inside forward, and they use this ability to switch position during the match and confuse the opponents. rafa and zivkovic in particular can play equally well on either side of the pitch (while salvio is noticeably better on the right, and cervi is noticeably better on the left - these two rarely move to the opposing flank, although they will temporarily swap positions with the attacking midfielders).
zivkovic typically played as a winger (either side) until filip krovinovic got injured. since then he has moved to a more central / inside forward position, with cervi and salvio (or rafa) taking up the wings.
Good video! Please do Juventus or
Augsburg. 😃
Amazing work. Congrats
Benfica ❤️
Good video
Pizzi is much more relevant/important then many people (especially benfica fans) say. Only is a 4-3-3 he is less visible. He's just not good taking free kicks and corner kicks. Zivkovic, and Cervi take the best corners. Still, Pizzi deserves much respect. Fejsa is a defensive Boss, Jonas a killer. Ruben Dias the tough youngster at the defense. Cervi never gives up, attacking and defending. I miss Nelson Semedo so much...but Andre Almeida is doing just fine. Not so technical though... Hope Krovinovic recovers completely and be ready for next season.
It’s time for you to make a video about Bruno lage’s tactics at Benfica
Jorge Jesus was not given a fair shot his last time around at Benfica. Hes a PROVEN world class coach, as a Benfica fan its such a big shame we ended off the way we did with Jorge Jesus
very well
Greatest club in the world
Do Hibernian in the SPFL Scotland, very exciting tactic!
You have to remake this video with Bruno Lage's tactics!
Awesome
subscribed
Great video do Sporting please
PLEASE DO A JORGE JESUS FOCUSED VIDEO
Benfica hasn't been in a good shape as of late, but since Bruno Lage took over, it seems things have improved, It's just a big disappointment how bad we performed in the champions this year. Anyway, we're close to reclaim the title, I hope we don't lose now, it's a small diference between us and FC Porto.
I think they are still relying a lot on individual talent, but that happens in most teams in the world. If you take out Jardel, Salvio that happens a lot in Benfica, Salvio can't play a single 90min game, and Jardel is old and gets injured a lot of times. Benfica has a hard time replacing them, last year they had Lindelof, now they have Ruben Dias but Luisão and Jardel are two old defenders who might be very important but misses a lot of games. Often a team loses the ability to fight for titles when you have a defensive line that changes a lot. And Jonas out of team is the worst nightmare of benfica's fans, i don't think they that having the Seferovic or the Mexican guy (forgot his name) will save their team in games were teams defend a lot, that is every game.
Benfica best club in the world 🔴⚪️
This is very similar to Donadoni's system in Serie A. 👍
Carrega Benfica!!!
Have you seen Sérgio Conceição at Porto? Do one about him!
António Portugal I also want that to happen
Soon. Stay tuned to the channel! :]
Tiago Estêvão nice can't wait
Well, it is a great analyses, but Benfica actually started with Krovinovic (instead of Zivkovic, and by the has playing wonderfuly).
You should make a new one with the changes made by the new coach, Bruno Lage, who did the impossible, winning the League title last season!
Welcome to Egypt rui😀🇪🇬
Do a Sporting one please
Do tactics explained sporting cp pls!!
Can you do a video on the México NT
Do for Sporting CP please!!
The moment you said “Pizzi orchestrates” I knew that it was poorly analysed
pls do griezmann!!!!!!!
About Benfica selling well lately, i think it's fair to remember that Jorge Mendes owns the majority of the current and past benfica's players. XD.
How Jonas isn't called to Brazil's NT is baffling
VAMOS AO PENTA CARALHO
Dude, Jorge Jesus is doing an amazing job with Flamengo. Check it out.
