Hell has apparently officially frozen over - Benfica captain Joao Pinto has resigned from Benfica, citing difficulties with trainer Jupp Heynckes (who he says, "doesn't like Portuguese players").
50,000 angry Benfiquistas have descended upon Estadio da Luz to lynch JVA and/or Heynckes. This sounds like a joke, but it's not.
Once the dust clears, this will go down as the best offseason move of the summer for Benfica.
In the wake of JVP's departure, Paulo Madeira is indicating that he may be leaving as well.
Joao Pinto played with heart and courage for Benfica for years, and he'll go down in history as a great player; but his time at Benfica had come to an end, and I think this is the best thing for the club.
FORCA BENFICA!!!
