C.S. Marítimo

You can be creative in the alternates and the third kits.

Like the third kit is, it was a little more of a, of an experiment this year, but they wore it, uh, in, at Maritimo, the, the, I guess it's black with a little bit of red and white, like some kind of design coming across the front.

It almost looks like a training kit, but you can experiment with third kits especially.

I think Bay Peak are going to be looking good all the way through this contract with Adidas.

So that top seven is pretty solid right now.

Académico are eighth, Gil Vicente ninth, and Marítimo round out the top ten.

And they have seven points at the bottom.

Not to skip over everybody else, but at the bottom we got Casa Pia, which I've kind of penciled in as relegated already.

They drew their first game 2-2 against Academico Diviseo.

And then from there, they beat Casa Pia 7-0, they beat Estoril 2-1, Maritimo 4-0, Morenze 4-0, and most recently, Gil Vicente 3-1 at home.

That was yesterday.

Pavlidis scored a couple in that.

No, absolutely.

But just, you know, looking at how, and I think if you looked at, you know, like the game that, that Leandro Bajedo had, you know, in, in, at Maritimo, you know, that he has now the ability to push forward that much harder and, you know, and be not only an eight, but be an aggressive eight and be able to get up and, and use his offensive ability.

Cause he knows he's got Schoenprelinger back there to erase, you know, things, especially against lower opponents.

So that's, you know, that gives us a lot of, um you know a lot of comfort that maybe we wouldn't have had two or three weeks ago so

Yeah, definitely.

I'm just gonna dampen your mood by the way, 'cause we're starting off with Maritimo nil, Benfica three.

Uh-

Ah, that's right

Very heavy defeat there.

Um, although the trip to Madeira is usually quite tough, but Benfica didn't really find it difficult at all.

No, I think Maritimo managed to keep it together for the first portions of the game, but Benfica just grew into it, kind of escaped Maritimo's clutches and it was a, a tough one to handle.

Um, there, there is that sort of reputation around the Maritimo home ground.

Bafica went.

Maritimo, of course, had gotten a good start to the season, but they really fell at Borreiro with the brace.

and we saw a nice goal as well by pristiani getting the three nil win in mededa we saw braga they were losing early one nothing to alberica came back to win two to one we saw sporting at home and beating nacional 2-0 nacional by the way just changed their manager um it was the former sporting bt manager and now they just hired a new manager, so that was the first big change of the Liga Portugal season.

Santa Clara, what a great result on Sunday, beating up on Rio Ave, 4-0 Rio Ave. Santa Clara, first off, has had their best start.

The calendar is pretty jam-packed for the next two and a half weeks.

We got Maritimo Saturday and then Wednesday at Morines.

Home Sunday to Gilles Vicente.

Not an easy game, especially the way we've been playing at home.

They're playing in these kinds of conditions, you know, going in the B.

So, that's the games, you know, that they should be playing.

These games at home against Maritimo, things like that.

Like, These are the games that, you know, maybe you feel a little bit more than being, you got to trust these kids that they're going to be able to do something against these kinds of teams, you know, and the games against like AC moms and stuff that should be your premier.

very tough challenge to come down.

And we saw Maritimo took a couple of seasons to get themselves back up.

And most of us thought they were going to bounce right back up in the first year.

And it didn't happen.
